It would appear to me as though somehow an extra partition is being created during the disk setup. Here is my partition setup file, the partition.sda from the logs, is there a script somewhere adding an extra partition?

#disk_config/FAIBASE
# generic disk configuration for one small disk
# disk size from 500Mb up to what you can buy today
#
# <type> <mountpoint> <size in mb> [mount options]     [;extra options]

disk_config disk1
primary  /             3000-      rw,errors=remount-ro ; -c -j ext3
logical  swap          1000      rw
# logical /home        preserve9   rw,nosuid            ; -m 1 -j ext3



#logs/partition.sda
glue:/var/log/fai/node-27/last# cat partition.sda
# partition table of device: /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start=        63, size=  33784632, Id= 83, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start=  33784695, size=   2056320, Id=  5
/dev/sda3 : start=         0, size=         0, Id=  0
/dev/sda4 : start=         0, size=         0, Id=  0
/dev/sda5 : start=  33784758, size=   2056257, Id= 82


The partition on /dev/sda2 is extra and not something I defined. I just want one big partition and a 1 gig swap, is my configuration wrong? Furthermore, I looked at the partition table via fdisk, these partitions are assigned to the same starting point?

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sda: 18.3 GB, 18351967232 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2231 cylinders

Thanks,
