Talk:Setup-storage
and in /srv/fai/config/store/setup-storage you need to have line 77 as follows unshift @INC, "/var/lib/fai/config/store/lib";
Have you considered this instead?
use lib ""/var/lib/fai/config/store/lib";
Which will then allow you to have an entire FAI:: namespace down that path? Unless you wrap the 'unshift' into a BEGIN{} block, it happens at run-time (which is too late), not compile time like 'use lib'. BEGIN blocks are ugly and tough to debug, where as 'use lib' falls into the natural order/perly of doing things.
It might even be better to put the config-store libs in a central place that all of FAI can find them, possibly in /usr/lib/fai, which gets rolled into the NFSROOT. You can then do things like:
use FindBin; use lib dirname(abs_path($FindBin::RealScript)) . "/../lib"; use lib "$FindBin/../lib"; use FAI::Config::Store; my $bin = $FindBin::Bin;
if you needed to. This allows for an FAI/ subdir some place relative where the script running lives, and provides a location for an entire FAI:: namespace.
Additionally, in setup-storage, there is the following:
require "init.pm"; require "volumes.pm"; require "parser.pm"; require "sizes.pm"; require "commands.pm"; require "fstab.pm"; require "exec.pm";
Which seems to be an attempt to get around the fact that the 'unshift @INC' is a runtime operator. If the unshift were converted to a "use lib", all the requires could be converted to 'use' statements as well, and all this would happen at compile time where it's supposed to.
Just some thoughts.

preserve option
could anybody give me the right trasformation of this configuration to the new format
disk_config hda primary - preserve1 primary - preserve2 primary / 100- rw,errors=remount-ro ; boot -j ext3 logical swap 128 sw
especially i don't understand the preserves
thanks a lot
disk sda / hda
Is there a reason why all the examples use
disk_config hda
or
disk_config sda
instead of the more generic (and probably more generally applicable)
disk_config disk1
(specific partitions can be addressed as 'disk1.3')
