Hello Tom
thanks your “wondering” (and your work on/at fog) 🙂
Your are right: It’s hard to get rid off GPT. But that’s by intension, but
I’m lucky currently not to have to handle GPT-
I think i will use fog to deploy an “embedded” OS.
So the disks delivered are empty (i think all “00”), uses MBR.
But don’t (usually) have a BIOS compatible console.
So there is problem with the debug-option 🙂
No keyboard, No screen.
Deploying via fog would have been so elegant.
If i could give help i would like to help to find the reason while that big fog script fails to detect that the disk is empty.
I see it is looking on /proc/partition and asks sfdisk. All say: There is a “/dev/sda” (but no /dev/sda1)
I used a dd | hexdump to see that the first 32MB are really empty(=zero(0)).
A new feature request thread (i’ll place there):
Would it make sense the setup a syslogd so the fog-script could sent persistent log file entries the fog-server.
IIRC this are only some line of configuration in /etc and installing
