Problem with GPT Bios Partition

2015-11-26 Thread Denny Bortfeldt
Hello everyone, I'm using FAI 5.0 and need a special partition layout for our centos kvm installation. The partition schema need to be like this: GPT /dev/sda1 2048 6143 2M BIOS boot partition /dev/sda2 6144 16783359 8G Linux swap /dev/sda3 16783360 17831935 512M Microsoft basic data /boot /dev/

Hello everyone, just a follow-up. With the help from Kerim I could managed my setup. The disk-label "gpt-bios" will create this special 2MB Bios-Partition at the end of the part-layout. It's not neccessary to define it in the disk_config-File. So to create my layout as I mention in the first mail
