Package: partman-auto
Severity: normal
Version: not sure! It's the version I got by downloading:
ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/20070308/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
I have two disks specified in partman-auto/disk, but only the first disk
gets partitioned. Subsequently the attempt to set up RAID fails with:
An unexpected error occurred while setting up a preseeded RAID
configuration.
The error is:
partman-auto-raid: mdadm: Cannot open /dev/discs/disc1/part1: No such
file or directory
Examining the system at this point, I see that it has automatically
partitioned /dev/discs/disc0/disc but not partitioned
/dev/discs/disc1/disc at all. I have checked and fdisk is happy to fdisk
both /dev/discs/disc0/disc and /dev/discs/disc1/disc manually.
My preseeding is as follows (identical to the manual):
d-i partman-auto/method string raid
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/discs/disk1/disc
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \

It would help if I spelt disk disc in the second disk specified in
partman-auto/disk. This fixed the problem.
