= Introduction =
As setup_harddisks is not portable due to its dependency on sfdisk and the lack of support for RAID and LVM, it has been re-implemented from scratch. As of FAI 3.2.8 it is integrated with mainline FAI, but not yet used by default.

To test the current implementation, keep reading. There are some TODOs left and
probably a lot more will arise as soon as people actually start testing it. Before you
start, just let me clarify that this is a very dangerous piece of software that
has not been sufficiently tested for any cases where you want to retain any of
your data. It will definitely destroy any data on any of your disks in your
system. You have been warned.

If you're still interested, the following steps are required next:

* get FAI 3.2.8 (or later)
* add USE_SETUP_STORAGE=1 to one of your scripts in class/
* you may want to take a look at the SETUPSTORAGE class used in the simple example in FAI 3.2.8 and/or see man 8 setup-storage
* add lvm2 and mdadm to one of your client classes (it must be available on the target system, if you define LVMs/RAIDs in your disk_config)
* create a disk_config for some class MY_TEST_CLASS from the old one apart from (at least) the following changes:
** the filesystem is now given as the 4th column, the mount options are now in column 5
** there is no ;-hack anymore -- anything given after the mount options is passed on to mkfs.<filesystem>
** Partitions are marked as bootable using the bootable:<nr> option in the disk_config line
** The other things should at least work like they did before, but there are some new things as well, like RAID support (which is surely incomplete), LVM support, mounting by label or UUID. 
** '''Please take a look at the [[Setup-storage#Some_examples|attached examples]] to get an idea of the new format.'''
** All details of the implemented syntax and examples are given below.
* Give it a go (you have backed up all data, don't you?). There will be lots of debug output; if it finishes with the printout of an fstab file that is to your liking, it should have succeeded.
