Dear Ray,
while setting up a new Debain box with FAI, I stumbled over an issue
with setting up LVM. FAIs setup-storage failed, complaining about
uninitialized variables somewhere in the LVM.pm module.
It turned out, that someone else also stumbled upon this and filed a bug
report with FAI:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fai@uni-koeln.de/msg05423.html
Thomas Lange guessed right, the issue is in the Linux::LVM perl module,
version 0.17. I managed to fix the issue, see the attached patch file.
After applying the patch, FAI setup-storage works fine again with LVM.
Best regards,
Roland
