Here's a quick crack at a conversion of your grammar to
Parse::RecDescent - considered using that module for the parsing of this?
my $Parser = Parse::RecDescent->new(q{
file: line(s?) /\Z/
line: /$/
| comment /$/
| config /$/
comment: /\s*#.*$/
config:
'disk_config' disk_config_arg
| volume
disk_config_arg:
'raid'
| 'lvm'
| /disk\d+/ option(s?)
| /\S/ option(s?)
option:
/preserve:\d+(,\d+)*/
| /disklabel:(msdos|sun)/
| /bootable:\d/
| 'virtual'
volume:
type mountpoint size filesystem mount_options fs_options
| 'vg' name size
type: 'primary'
| 'logical'
| /raid[0156]/
| m{[^/\s]+-[^/\s]+}
mountpoint:
'-'
| 'swap'
| m{/\S*}
name: /\S+/
size: /\d+%?(-\d+%?)?(:resize)?/
| /-\d+%?(:resize)?/
| /preserve\d+/
| /[^,:\s]+(:(spare|missing))*(,[^,:\s]+(:(spare|missing))*)*/
mount_options:
/\S+/
filesystem:
'-'
| 'swap'
| \S+
{ if ( !in_path("mkfs.$item[0]") ) {
die "unknown/invalid filesystem type '$item[0]'"
}
}
fs_options:
/.*$/
});
Something like that, anyway - it still needs generating blocks on each
rule to return a data structure and I'm not sure I got the :spare rule
right, it seems a little odd.
I might have a crack at fitting this parser into the 'old'
setup_harddisks (well, the one I refactored), as well as switching it to
use parted. Most of the questions about, eg, what order to do things in
are already solved in the functions in that script.
Otherwise, just go ahead and lift out functions from that code for what
you're doing as you find them useful.

Re: cfengine error during fai-based install
Hi Martin, AFAIK nobody has replied to your post to date - sorry... > i a newbie in debian, fai and cfengine (formely suse, without wonderful fai > and cfengine) and need now some hint to resolve this problem. > [...] > > Whats wrong ??? > > Install anyone cfengine2 with fai? the pre or post config-script gets an > sed-editor error and the debconf settings will not correct apply. > If got no idea about cfengine2, but it should AFAIK work. However, personally I'd suggest you simply use sed/perl instead of cfengine... But back to your question: Are you sure, squid has been installed and configured completely before your cfengine script is run for the first time? Note, that /etc/squid/squid.conf is copied by squid's postinst script and thus it might have been completely missing upon the first attempt to run cfengine!?

Fwd: fai-mirror and conflicting packages
to keep the thread on this list: -- Forwarded message -- From: Larry Lindsey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jun 6, 2006 6:27 PM Subject: Re: fai-mirror and conflicting packages To: Henning Sprang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Quoting Henning Sprang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On 6/2/06, Larry Lindsey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [...] >I've already attempted > to place all of the packages in files/, but they take up > 10MB, causing FAI to > error-out early in the installation. I agree that fai-mirror should be able to get conflicting packages into the same mirror, also (which is probably not possible with the way it currently works) It doesn't seem possible currently, however, I've found a workaround. It seems that fai-mirror does a ton of 'apt-get install's with the download-only flag enabled, thus creating a hefty apt cache archive. It then uses apt-move to create a standard debian mirror directory structure. I've inserted a line in fai-mirror that copies the offending debian packages into the archive just before the apt-move, and this seems to do the trick. Bu why and since when does FAI have a 10MB limit for the files directory? I used to have quite large files in there, I did get rid of it because it's just not good to have such things. But if somebody wants to, he should be able to stick GB's into files at will. I should mention that I'm using fai-cd, and installing from a cdrom image. If I understand correctly (and someone please correct me if I don't), the install process mounts a tmpfs in a handful of directories. In particular, there is one in /fai, to which it copies the fai configuration tree. The size of the temp directory is limited by the amount of RAM in the system, so the 10MB limit is probably an artifact of the machine that I'm installing on, which is in fact a QEMU VM with only 64MB of RAM. In any case, this limits the total size of any files in fai/files to 10MB in my case, perhaps more for other machines. Certainly, under this setup, you wouldn't ever be able to copy GB's directly, however, it would be nice to have a /files directory in the CD image, from which larger files could be copied into /tmp/target.
