LVM on Raid (20040704 sarge-i386-netinst.iso)
Firing up the installer in expert mode, I found it easy enough
to get the partitioner to show me:
---
[!!] Partition disks
...
IDE1 master (hda) 82.3 GB ExcelStor etc etc
#2 primary 81.8 GB raid
#1 primary 509.9MB swap swap
IDE1 master (hdc) 82.3 GB ExcelStor etc etc
#2 primary 81.8 GB raid
#1 primary 509.9MB swap swap
RAID1 device #0 - 228.7 MB Software RAID device
#1 primary 81.8GB lvm
---
However, when I then select "Configure the logical volume manager"
-> Yes -> Modify volume groups -> Create volume groups
it says no physical volumes were found.
And dropping back to the partitioner, the raid device just shows a 81GB
partition (no "lvm"), which when selected has "do not use".
Is something going wrong here, or am I just not doing things in the
right order or missing some crucial step ?
I'm a bit suspicious of that 228.7MB size.
The machine (dual 933MHz P3) has had no problems with a couple of beta4
installs on it in the past (but only with one 40GB drive and trivial
partitioning... this is my fist attempt at raid/lvm)
Thanks for any tips.
