Sorry to be a pest, but will SOMEONE PLEASE give status / make bloody
sure that software RAID support is FINALLY in Debian ... what 3 years

work is going into "old world mac" floppies, making sure you can
install Debian off the tape drive on that Sinclair you dusted off from
the attic, etc etc, but for those of us trying to use Debian on, gasp,
brand new machines with, gasp brand new SCSI controllers and gasp,
raid
controllers and software RAID to support thousands of people, you can
set your hair on fire and no one will say boo. Please, for gods
sake,
everything is there! I'll help test, I have over 50 machines running
Debian with software RAID!
Hi there,
I have been working a bit on making software RAID work in the
Debian-installer, and have had partly success with it. My work can be
found
here: http://www.daimi.au.dk/~pg/debian/netinst-raid1.iso
But I have to warn you, people have had different levels of sucess
with it.
However, it takes quite some time to make the support stable enough to
be
included in anything. And currently time is something I don't have too
much
of :-)
That said, I hope to be able to supply an up-to-date and a better
working
image within too long (I won't give any timeframe, and don't hold your
breath, real life needs attention too).
Of course development will go faster if other people join in
(especially
people with knowledge of the d-i).
Cheers,
