| 11:03 Joelio | Does anyone have any working disk_configs with gpt-bios, so I can look at how it's done? |
| 11:04 Joelio | I'm having real difficulty provisioning a large filesystem (about 9TB) |

| 12:44 Joelio | Now I've set debug=1 I see that parted is complaining that /dev/sda contains GPT partition table, but there is no fake msdos partiton as there should be |
| 12:45 Joelio | There's also an error saying "Table header not seen yet" |
| 12:46 Joelio | just abiove the other error |
| 12:53 Joelio | AHA! Deleting all the partitions in parted and rerunning makes it work! |
| 12:53 Joelio | It mst be due to the extra error that's generated from parted that's causing setup-storage to fail |
| 12:54 Joelio | parted is waiting for a Yes/No answer to if the partition was GPT |
| allee-k (~allee-k@p54A44186.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #fai. |
| 12:56 Joelio | I think I might just add a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1" to wipe the partition table every time.. |
| 12:59 Joelio | The damn thing *still* doesn't boot with gpt-bios though, grrr... |
| 13:15 Joelio | Doh! Would help if I used a bootloader that supported GPT |
| Action: Joelio hangs head in shame |

| 13:26 ebbie | Joelio: i think you have to wipe more then 512 bytes, got the same problem here and thinking about a hook that wipe the first bytes of the disk |
| 13:26 torkel_ | glance: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai-devel/2009q4/000702.html |
| Nick change: torkel_ -> torkel |
| 13:37 Joelio | ebbie: Sure.. the GPT stuff may take up more space. Generally it would be the first 512 bytes that tells the bootloader etc.. A hook would be a good idea, better would be to fix the output in parted, but c'estla vie! :) |

| 14:48 Joelio | Anyone here have experience of using grub2 in their config space? |

| 15:25 mgoetze | Joelio: supposedly the simple-examples have a grub2 class as of fai 3.3 |
| 15:50 Joelio | mgoetze: Is that in SVN I take it? I'll have a look anyway, cheers for the pointer |
| 16:15 Joelio | No, there's nothing relating to GRUB2 in http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/fai/tags/3.3/#_tags_3.3_ |
| 16:15 Mrfai | look for GRUB_PC |
| 16:36 Joelio | Mrfai: I added GRUB_PC to ADDCLASSES on the kernel line. Now I just get GRUB upon boot and nothing else, sigh.. |

| 16:53 Mrfai | You should use the search function on this page http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/mailinglist/ |
| 16:53 Mrfai | search for gpt |
| 17:06 Joelio | Excellent, I wasn't aware of the search function.. I won't pester the IRC channel as much now :) |
