24 * setup-storage/Exec.pm: Use --timeout=10 instead of --timeout 10 to stay
25 compatible with etch (thanks Vincent Fortier)
26 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Immediately fail if partitions > 2TB are to be
27 created on msdos disk labels
28 * setup-storage: Enable debug mode if -d was given on the command line
29 * setup-storage/Fstab.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Proper perl text
30 replace syntax and additional random initialization of partition
31 (thanks William Famy)
32 * examples/simple/scripts/GRUB/20-initramfs: Update the initramfs in case
33 lvm2 or mdadm have been installed.
34 * example/simple/classes/50-host-classes: Added hosts bear (class
35 LVM_XEN_SERVER) and puma (RAID_XEN_VIRTUAL)
36 * example/simple/disk_config/{LVM_XEN_SERVER,RAID_XEN_VIRTUAL}: Added
37 corresponding disk_config examples that have a large LVM and a software
38 RAID configured
39 * conf/NFSROOT, debian/control, setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Moving back to
40 Linux::LVM perl module for parsing LVM command output as #488205 has been
41 fixed.
42 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage.8: Added and documented support for
43 glob patterns in device names (e.g., /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-*)
44 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Fail early, if a non-existing device is used in a
45 volume group.
46 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Properly handle existing volume groups and only
47 extend them if the underlying devices are preserved, otherwise create them
48 anew.
49 * setup-storage/Volumes.pm, setup-storage/Parser.pm: Always write a new
50 disklabel, if no partition on the disk must be preserved
51 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Make sure that the
52 user hasn't configured spares/missing devices with RAID-0 and only add
53 --spare-devices if at least 1 is configured. Thanks Camille Barette.
54 (closes: #508192)
55 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Use the proper id for telling the user about
56 preserved/resized partitions. (closes: #521290)
57 * setup-storage/Init.pm, disk-info: Added AOE etherd/ device names to
58 regular expressions (thanks Jean Spirat)
59 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: If the disk config is marked virtual, create
60 dummy commands to tell later commands that the devices exist
61 (closes: #508247)
62 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: Support :encrypt with all mountpoint
63 specifications
64 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Properly tell the user that the lower bound of a
65 parition size is already too high
66 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Added debug output in command dependency sorter
67 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Make random
68 initialization of encrypted partitions configurable
69 * setup-storage.8: Document new encryption possibilities
70 * lib/get-config-dir-*: task_error requires the exit code of the
71 preceeding command as the second argument
72 * lib/subroutines-linux: The exit code of a command earlier in a pipe
73 must be read using $PIPESTATUS, not $? (closes: #444210)
74 * bin/faimond: Try to load Proc::Daemon only in case -d is given; if it
75 fails, print a helpful error message (closes: #513090)
