Re: Using Alioth Opteron net install to config MD raid1

[Ashley Flynn <ash@damit.com.au>]

Hi

Yeah that's what I'm forced to do for installs currently. It's a total 
pain in the ass though compared to how easy it should be. Lots of 
partition juggling is no fun.

I have had this problem since trying amd64 sarge from like 4 months ago 
so it doesn't seem to matter what build of the sarge installer I use so far.

Anyone sucessfully used the installer to install a RAID5 root partition?
