A few more questions regarding multipath support in the
debian-installer:
* Are you going to support this in the future?
I am unsure if there is anyone having the necessary hardware to
ensure that multipath is working correctly in the future. So I would
feel a lot more comfortable in adding multipath support to d-i if you
are willing to maintain it. :)
* Could installations on multipath be emulated?
Is there any way to emulate an installation on multipath using
qemu, virtualbox or a similar tool? waldi told me that dm-linear was
one of the way to do so but I don't know how it would interact with
d-i.
* Could you provide us with a test image?
I'd like to have a feeling about the necessary steps to configure
multipath. Could you provide us with a test image with your current
achievements (especially if the above is true!).
As a last notice, for complete support, we will also need an update of
the installer manual (and the appendix about preseeding).
Cheers,
