Bug#257661: partman-lvm: undo changes infloop?
package: partman-lvm
severity: normal
d-i: fc1 sarge-netinst
I just tried to do a RAID install on VMware for a test. I made a vm
with 5 4.0 Gib SCSI disks. I selected hand-edit partitions, and made
one 4.2Gb partition on each, set to RAID. After I did that, I selected
'Configure RAID', and let it commit the partitions.
Then I found that it supports only RAID1, no RAID4 or 5... darn. So I
quit, then back in the partman, told it to undo changes to partitions.
Of course they had already been committed...
It hung for a long time, and gkrellm on the host machine showed high CPU
use in the VMware, like a loop is running again and again in a script.
It went to vt2, and ran ps. It was the RAID undo script. I powered off
the VMware.
