 The - (presumably at the end of the lines?) is not allowed 
 (anymore). If you want to pass additional options, use 
 createopts, pvcreateopts or lvcreateopts

Thnx, it worked :)

Now I'm still faced with the problem I was hoping the update to 3.2.19 would 
fix:

Calling task_action
FAI_ACTION: install
Performing FAI installation. All data may be overwritten!

Calling task_install
Calling task_partition
Partitioning local harddisks using setup-storage
Starting setup-storage 1.0.4
Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/SERVER
Executing: parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print
Executing: parted -s /dev/sda unit B print free
Executing: parted -s /dev/sda unit chs print free
Creating directory /tmp/lvm/lock
Finding all volume groups
  No volume groups found
Executing: mdadm --detail --scan --verbose -c partitions
Lower bound of partition size is greater than disk size
Error in task partition. Traceback: task_error task_partition task task_install 
task task_action task main

Usually n order to solve this I need to manually invoke a dd if=/dev/zero 
of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 to remove any traces of a partition table then 
restart the install once more but this does not work on my Dell PE1950 ??

Any fix for this one perhaps ?

Help again greatly appreciated!

i had this issue once because i was allocating more storage than my disk 
has space for. Are you sure you are not overbooking the disk's capacity 
? If a dd let you go over this issue this should not be the case just 
giving experience return for the same error message i had..


try to put

vg00-root  /   5- xfs   defaults


and see if it helps...


regards,
Jean.

You where soo right... Thnx... 

I was trying to assign 72304 x 1024 = 74039296 
disk_config disk1 bootable:1
primary /boot   256 ext3defaults
primary -   2048swaprw
primary -   7-  -   -

while I the disk as:
[r...@urpbe1 /root]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 72.7 GB, 72746008576 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8844 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
 
Thnx a lot!

 i agree that the error message could be a little different 
 like: disk is not big enough for the settings
 or I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed 
 animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. 
 Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of 
 elderberries, something that really told us we got somethign 
 wrong in our configs ;)

I tend to agree... At least for the first part :)

 
 regards,
 jean

I've changed the error message to

Sorry, can't create a partition of $start B on a disk of $size_b - check your 
config!

(with $start and $size_b being the size of the partition and that of the disk,
respectively). Will make it into the next experimental upload.

Best,
Michael
