Re: Still puzzled by setup-storage

The much nicer approach is introducing something like preserve_lazy:1 (a tribute
to lazyformat...; but hints for better names are welcome) which causes behaviour
exactly as you described. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle, but I cannot tell
whether it'll be done in a day or a week.




Now that one took effectively nearly three months... Sorry for the delay. I've
added a patch to the experimental builds, it's in version
3.3.4~beta1+experimental2. Testing of the new preserve_lazy option is much
appreciated.
  
Looks like I'm the first one again :-) . It works as expected on a 
partitionless disk, but fails if the LVM volume already exists (I just 
tried to install again the same host) : although setup-storage claims 
that '(volume) will be preserved', it runs parted to create the volume 
group.
