Bug#397973: [powerpci/mac] partman-md appears to not write back the raid flag to partitions.
Package: partman-md
Version: 30
Severity: important
Well, there seems to be a problem in how partman/partman-md writes back the
RAID flag on mac partition tables.
When using the 1.7.1-3 parted, it should work, but somehow partman doesn't
actually writes the RAID flag back to the partition, and thus partman-md
doesn't find the raid partitions.
When going in the console, and invoking parted by hand on the partitions, the
flags are indeed not there, even though the partitions where marked as raid
partitions.
Setting them by hand in parted, and then continuing the raid setup stuff, will
make it find the partitions without problem.
So this bug is indeed in partman and/or partman-md. I had a look at
partman-md, but wasn't able to find anything obvious or sligthly less so.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
