Hi Mât,[...]Could you tell me what is the "correct" way to declare such a configuration please ?Your second attempt *without* the disk_config disk2 line would be "correct" - but it seems that setup-storage is not. Could you just give that another try as explained above to see the behaviour is consistent at least? I'll meanwhile try to figure out what's going wrong. Oh, yes, and as always: debug logs are most welcome :-)I finally got around to look into this and it might be that indeed it would be better not to declare this configuration as being "correct" - and go for another one instead. Could you give the following configuration a try?
[...
disk_config disk2 raw-disk - 0 - -
disk_config lvm vg PPC disk2 PPC-WOO /WOO 30G- xfs rw =============================================================================== The problem with entirely leaving out disk2/sdb is that setup-storage does not know whether it may put a new disk label on that device or whether that would corrupt a disk setup-storage should not have touched. With the above config it is made explicit that setup-storage is to configure the disk the way it needs to be configured. Well, and going without a (temporary) disk label poses problems with parted, which refuses to display the geometry of a device without a disk label. Without such information, however, setup-storage cannot determine the size of the volumes that will end up on disk2/sdb, e.g., the 30G- volume. Mât, could you please give this config another try? Thanks a lot, Michael
