Hi all, we reinstall our training laptops very frequently. At the end of a training, all kinds of storage configuration can be left on the harddisks. Since January I'm using setup-storage. And my experience is, that it often fails to clean up old configuration, and therefore fails to partition the new system.
As a workaround I introduced the following two lines in a hook: ============================================================ [ -b ${BOOT_DEVICE}2 ] && wipefs -a -f ${BOOT_DEVICE}2 parted ${BOOT_DEVICE} 'mklabel msdos yes' # this is sometimes #necessary, often useless and produces warnings sometimes. ============================================================ setup-storage calls already 'wipefs -a' on several occasions. I think 'wipefs -a -f' would be more reliable. @Thomas: what do you think? Ingo -- Linuxhotel GmbH, Geschäftsführer Dipl.-Ing.
