Description Mohammed Arafa 2013-11-19 14:43:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
if you run packstack --allinone, a packstack answer file is generated and saved in /root.

however, if you run packstack --gen-answer-file=GEN_ANSWER_FILE, that answer file is _different_ than the one run.

the assumption here is that by generating the file we can identify what configuration is being used by packstack --allinone.

unfortunately, this is not true

Comment 3 Alvaro Lopez Ortega 2013-11-26 17:57:24 UTC 
The "all in one" option is there for a reason. When used, it's expected to get a different answer file. 

--gen-answer-file and --allinone are complementary options, and so the described behaviour is intended.
