5 * fai-cd: use a pipe when sending commands to grub
6 * ftar, fcopy: add info about the other tool
7 * new file live.conf will disable some messages during booting

9 -k now also upgrades all packages inside the nfsroot
10 * fai-do-scripts: skip files with certain suffixes (closes: #500579)
11 call cfagent scripts with -v if fai is in debug mode
12 * lib/subroutines-linux: don't rely on ' as a field separator when
13 parsing boot.log, use = and strip off any quotes (closes: #439250)
14 * lib/get-config-dir-svn: Make username in svn:// config url optional
15 (thanks Alexander Fisher) (closes: #441436)

20 * 20-removable_media: add fd0 entry to fstab only if device is present
21 * fai-cd, make-fai-nfsroot: awk can also do the grep
22
23 [ Michael Tautschnig ]
24 * setup-storage: Bumped version number to 1.0.4
25 * setup-storage/Exec.pm: Use --timeout=10 instead of --timeout 10 to stay
26 compatible with etch (thanks Vincent Fortier)
27 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Immediately fail if partitions > 2TB are to be
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
31 replace syntax and additional random initialization of partition
32 (thanks William Famy) (closes: #500821)
33 * examples/simple/scripts/GRUB/20-initramfs: Update the initramfs in case
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.
43 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage.8: Added and documented support for
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
49 anew.
50 * setup-storage/Volumes.pm, setup-storage/Parser.pm: Always write a new
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)
60 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: If the disk config is marked virtual, create
61 dummy commands to tell later commands that the devices exist
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
67 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Added debug output in command dependency sorter
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)
77 * bin/setup-storage, setup-storage/Volumes.pm: When propagating preserve
78 markers also check whether the to-be-preserved volume is defined at all
79 (closes: #521153)
80 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Commands.pm: Added support for
81 optional (pv|vg|lv|md)createopts
82 * man/setup-storage.8: Documented these new options
83 * Moved parsing of createopts,tuneopts to Parser.pm for simpler code and
84 better syntax checking (closes: #521172)
