28 created on msdos disk labels
29 * setup-storage: Enable debug mode if -d was given on the command line
30 * setup-storage/Fstab.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Proper perl text

34 lvm2 or mdadm have been installed.
35 * example/simple/classes/50-host-classes: Added hosts bear (class
36 LVM_XEN_SERVER) and puma (RAID_XEN_VIRTUAL)
37 * example/simple/disk_config/{LVM_XEN_SERVER,RAID_XEN_VIRTUAL}: Added
38 corresponding disk_config examples that have a large LVM and a software
39 RAID configured
40 * conf/NFSROOT, debian/control, setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Moving back to
41 Linux::LVM perl module for parsing LVM command output as #488205 has been
42 fixed.

44 glob patterns in device names (e.g., /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-*)
45 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Fail early, if a non-existing device is used in a
46 volume group.
47 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Properly handle existing volume groups and only
48 extend them if the underlying devices are preserved, otherwise create them

51 disklabel, if no partition on the disk must be preserved
52 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Make sure that the
53 user hasn't configured spares/missing devices with RAID-0 and only add
54 --spare-devices if at least 1 is configured. Thanks Camille Barette.
55 (closes: #508192)
56 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Use the proper id for telling the user about
57 preserved/resized partitions. (closes: #521290)
58 * setup-storage/Init.pm, disk-info: Added AOE etherd/ device names to
59 regular expressions (thanks Jean Spirat)

62 (closes: #508247)
63 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: Support :encrypt with all mountpoint
64 specifications
65 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Properly tell the user that the lower bound of a
66 parition size is already too high

68 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Make random
69 initialization of encrypted partitions configurable
70 * setup-storage.8: Document new encryption possibilities
71 * lib/get-config-dir-*: task_error requires the exit code of the
72 preceeding command as the second argument
73 * lib/subroutines-linux: The exit code of a command earlier in a pipe
74 must be read using $PIPESTATUS, not $? (closes: #444210)
75 * bin/faimond: Try to load Proc::Daemon only in case -d is given; if it
76 fails, print a helpful error message (closes: #513090)

86 thanks to Andrew Ruthven for reporting this. (Closes: #504662)
