hi,
It seems that setup storage support gpt partition type but from my
test linux do not like it as udev utils do not see the disk correctly
leading to fai problems:
Parted works:
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mklabel gpt
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mklabel gpt
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
linux-swap 17408B 4294984703B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
ext3 4294984704B 15032402943B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
ext3 15032402944B 15346975743B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
ext3 15346975744B 26084393983B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
ext3 26084393984B 36821812223B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
ext3 36821812224B 42190521343B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary
ext3 42190521344B 249999982591B
Executing: udevsettle --timeout 10 && parted -s /dev/sda set 1 boot on
but /lib/udev/vol_id fail and fai stop on this error:
Executing: /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda6
Command /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda6 had exit code 4
Failed to obtain UUID for /dev/sda6
Traceback: task_error task_partition task task_install task task_action
task main
FATAL ERROR. Installation stopped.
when you test:
r...@aqded01:/# /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda6
/dev/sda6: unknown volume type
r...@aqded01:/# /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda5
/dev/sda5: unknown volume type
r...@aqded01:/# /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda4
/dev/sda4: unknown volume type
r...@aqded01:/# /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda3
/dev/sda3: unknown volume type
r...@aqded01:/# /lib/udev/vol_id -u /dev/sda1

so basicaly udev utils seems limited to msdos partition type , Anyone
ever used GPT style partitions they seems more robust the msdos ones ?
regards,
Jean.
