Package: fai-client
Version: 3.3.5
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze sid
Hi,
I'm not quite sure whether this change is intentional but in the current
version of fai-client, disk-info does not output the disk sizes anymore.
when invoking /usr/lib/fai/disk-info on a Debian Lenny box, the script outputs
the disk devices together with their sizes (in blocks) while on Squeeze the
scripts just outputs the disk devices. The new behavior comes from this
change which removed $blocks from the output:
- [ $isdisk -eq 1 ] && echo "$device $blocks"
+ [ $isdisk -eq 1 ] && echo "$device"

Changing it back will fix the behavior again. If this behvaior is intentional,
it would be nice, if someone pointed me to the new way to determine disk sizes
since using disk-info breaks our Squeeze FAI installation for the time being.
Thanks,
Adrian

I will now close this bug. The change had been documented, and
there's a simple workaround, that you can use the old code if you like
to define a variable with the old behaviour.

A minor error. It was already fixed in the fai-doc package, but not on
the web page.
