Re: [sisuite-users] Partitioning problem with SI 4.0.2 SALI 1.3.2

[Chris Pepper]

Tristam,

Last month, I made the minimal changes to the SI master script (as 
suggested on this list) to make it work with SALI. I have considered using the 
new SALI masterscript, but not tried it yet. Your suggestions look a bit more 
radical, and I haven't looked in the SALI documentation to find out what those 
verbs mean yet.

If possible, I'd like to patch the SI script, since I believe it's 
*almost* okay (it worked on PE1950s last month). If that won't fly, I'll test 
the SALI replacement.

Is there any documentation for your suggested modifications? Did you 
pull them from a public source that I can read?

Thanks,

Chris

 Dennis,

  Thanks, your SALI fix enabled us to pull the script from the server. 
 Now using a SI master script modified for SALI, I'm getting warnings about 
 partition alignment, and a partition creation failure which halts the whole 
 process. Screenshots are at http://cbio.mskcc.org/~pepper/si/.

  Any suggestions?

 Thanks,

 Chris


 You mention modifying the script to work with SALI, but you still appear to 
 be using the system-imager style partition script. Adapting to the SALI 
 commands should look more like mine:

 # disk enumeration

 disk_enumerate sd hd


 # set disk label

 set_disklabel $DISK0 gpt


 # partition

 partition $DISK0 1:grub2 5000:swap::swap 2:ext4:/:root 
 1:ext4:/tmp:temp 0:ext4:/data:data


 # mount disks

 mount_disks

The (semi-complete) official documentation is on the SALI wiki (
https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/sali/wiki/SaliUsage/Functions). Most of it I
pulled from the various SALI-related posts on the mailing list, however.

I realise you would prefer to continue using the old-style script, but the
reason I recommend the newer method is that SALI-style functions result in a
much cleaner script that is far easier to read and maintain.
