Comment 2 for bug 941959

update:

i looked into the bug, traced it down through perl and bash scripts. here's the bottom line:

the script /usr/lib/fai/disk-info is used to set the environment variable $disklist (it is called in a bash routine called 'set_disk_info' that can be seen in the environment of the shell). without this environment variable, everything related to paritioning will fail.

/usr/lib/fai/disk-info treats everyting in /dev/ as disk (except for cdrom, mounted usb drive) that belongs to the group "disk". as i use the grml kernel (3.1.0-grml64) my disks are not recognized because they belong to root:root and not to root:disk as on a regular ubuntu.

should this be directly reported on the fai list? and where whould that be?
