Hi, I am currently in the midst of setting up nodes for Statelite with a large local scratch disk as per https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/XCAT_Linux_Statelite/#enabling-the-localdisk-option
I have two local disks, one that is 600GB for some local reference files and another that is ~11TB for local scratch. The first is setup ok, but the second is failing. It appears that it is attempting to create a partition with a MSDOS disk label, as it is failing as per the following log messages.

Thanks, Carl.
