108 available
109 * setup-storage/Fstab.pm: Be more verbose if obtaining the UUID fails (may
110 be caused by earlier use in RAID array, tell the user how to solve the
111 problem). Ignore exit code 3 of vol_id -l, use fai-vol_id wrapper.
112 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: RAID device parsing: $2 doesn't refer to the
113 original expression anymore, store earlier $2 as $opts; don't use options
114 sub-hash (thanks Andreas Schockenhoff for lots of testing and feedback).
115 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Properly deal with missing (as in RAID specs) or
116 non-existing (user error) devices in estimate_size; don't do stupid divide
117 by 2 in RAID1 setup. (closes: #525138)
118 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Proper use of hash reference when checking for
119 "missing" option.
120 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: Ensure that RAID volumes marked preserve don't
121 count as extra RAID volumes being defined.
122 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Added support for raid10
123 (thanks William Francis for suggesting this).
124 * setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Fixed perl syntax error, properly handle
125 existing empty volume groups (thanks Brian Kroth and Cajus Pollmeier for
126 debugging this). (closes: #532321)
127 * man/setup-storage.8: Document possible problems with previous software
128 RAID partitions and missing bootable flags.
129 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Secondary GPT only requires 33 sectors.
130 * Bumped setup-storage version number to 1.1.1.

138
139 [ Thomas Lange ]
140 * menu.lst: remove year
141 * fai-cd: add option -B, that creates a boot-only CD (without containing
142 the nfsroot, the partitial mirror and the config space)

157 specified a partition is larger than the entire disk

159 Added pseudo-disklabel gpt-bios to support GPT on systems with BIOS
160 instead of EFI. Also installs an additional partition to store whatever
161 doesn't fit into MBR.

166 fai (3.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
167
168 * subroutines-linux: get-config-dir was never run if -z $monserver,
169 which may be the case when no DHCP was done (dirinstall, softupdates,

208 patch) (closes: #523625), fixing informal message (closes: #516385)

210 in a file called class/*.var (closes: #515139),
