Package: debian-installer Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss Hello, I upgraded this morning by downloading the business card image and booting off it. I had / on an IDE disk, and /home on a raid1 device made up of two sata disks. On upgrade, it was my intention to let d-i partition the IDE disk, but hang on to /home. It appeared to do this. but reboot, I installed mdadm and attempted to assemble and mount /dev/md0. mdadm said that sdb was out of sync, and the kernel said that the device lacked superblocks. Testing with fsck -b showed that none of the backup superblocks was working. D-I questions: I just pressed enter at the prompt, and set my keyboard and location to enGB. On reaching the disk stage, I asked it to set up hda as a LVM with / /home /tmp and /var on seperate paritions. On checking the result seemed to suggest no changes to /dev/sda or /dev/sdb. I have attached syslog and partman from /var/log/installer. If you have any questions, or I can help further, please ask. I'm psn on oftc. Any suggestions as to what I did wrong or how to recover would be really nice.
