Bug#251905: lvmcfg: works here



Package: lvmcfg
Followup-For: Bug #251905

I just want to mention that I was able to setup a RAID-1 system with /
on a RAID array and the rest (/usr, /var, /tmp and /home) on LVM using
the sarge amd64 installer images.

Worked like a charm. The only problem I saw was that grub was installed
only on one drive, but that grub magic fixed it:

# grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
[...]
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
 Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"...  16 sectors are
embedded.
succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p
(hd0,1)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.

note that (hd0,1) is because I reserved a non-raid and unused partition
at the beginning of the disk, so the root is actually on the second
partition.
