Bug#270793: Package: installation-reports
Hi,
know i have tried d-i RC1 on an other machine, following the same
procedure as before (trying to create a logical volume on a raid1 device).
This time the disks were detected (two IDE disks). Creating the raid1
device with the partitioner worked great. But i had to do "pvcreate" and
"vgcreate" myself again - the partitioner complained about "no physical
space for volume group" (or something like this) when i tried to create
a volume group with the tool. Then i could successfully create a logical
volume with the partitioner.
I wasn't using the logical volume for any mountpoint, but /dev/md0
(raid1) for swap.
Know i went on, installing the base system, and the same thing happend
as described in my first post: at the package installation (the progress
bar was showing around 68%) i got an error message, hiding the error
message under it. But this time i could see the first message for a
short time: it was about errors creating some /dev files. At console 3
it showed me that lvm2 was just being setup so i think there is the
problem. I slightly remember having the same problem on a woody-system
with backported lvm2 package.
The last message in /var/log/syslog was about problems umounting
/target/proc - don't know if this is related.
I have two questions:
Is the creation of physical extents and volume groups with the
partitioner a planned feature (or does it work already and i missed
something)?
Is support for /boot and / on raid a planned feature?
I really hope so. Should i try a newer snapshot of d-i for the above
features to work?
Thanks again,
Henri Philipps.
