Hi Thomas, Thank you for your reply. The proposal is a bit of a work-a-round for my other issue. At the moment, I'm still unable to generate the RAID1+CRYPT+LVM configuration I am after with setup-storage (see other emails). Feel free NOT to apply the patch.
With the output from '-C', I can save the commands, review them, and edit the output to include the cryptsetup commands that I'm missing, then run the resulting script. I could possibly even automate this process with a perl script, but I'd rather not. I might as well just use the dry-run output. Another couple of reasons that a '-C' type output might be useful. - Save storage configuration commands for audit and review purposes. - Regression testing in development environment. (1/2 a reason, the dry-run output would also work in this case) - Create storage configuration bash scripts that can be run in other environments without FAI. (Debian/Ubuntu have setup storage in its own package, and I'm finding this better to use than any of the other partitioning tools.)
