Comments/Problems:
This server has two identical IDE disks.
I would like to install a Debian system on the one logical RAID 1 root partition.
The RAID utilities need a partition with type : Linux RAID Autodetect
But, partman doesn't set a partition with this type !!?
This type doesn't exist in the list of the possibles types.
I could not install a Debian system in RAID 1 on this machine.
Regards.
