debian-installer and multiple drives



Hello,

We are installing Debian using the debian-installer completely unattened
for our customers.

This works like a charm, no problems whatsoever.

The only thing that troubles me is, that I can't install Debian on a
RAID1 array (md).

Reason for that is I can't seem to find a way how to partition the
second drive.

I'm using a recepie for the first one like this:

d-i     partman-auto/expert_recipe      string boot-root :: 100 100 100
ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem
{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /boot } . 64 512 300% linux-swap
$primary{ } method{ swap } format{ } .  500 10000 1000000000 ext3
$primary{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem
{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } .


If I lets say install Debian manually and dump the preseed file via
debconf-get-selections, I will only find the setup for one drive. It
seems that one information gets overwritten by the other.


So is there any way to make this happen?

I googled for a solution the whole day, but no one seems to have that
problem. It's of course a special case.


Is there any way to partition 2 drives, so I can use the mdcfg options
and create a RAID1 on it?

Thanks in advance,
Sascha
