Bug#473397: debian-installer: partioner forgets previous info when doing LVM
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20080330
Severity: normal
I'm installing a new system (intel DG33FB motherboard, core2duo, amd64)
from scratch using netboot. This daily version at least recognizes the
8086:284c e1000 NIC, yay!
I'm installing on two 500GB SATA disks, and want the following layout:
- /boot on RAID1 over /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1
- / on RAID1 over /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2
- LVM on RAID1 over /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb3
- /var on LVM
- swap on LVM
- /data on LVM
I create the /dev/sdXX partitions, and mark them as linux raid.
I then create the RAID1 devices.
I then create /boot and / on the first and second RAID1 devices, and
enter all the info about mount point, filesystem type, label, etc.
I then enter the LVM part to create the LVM devices for /var, swap and
/data. Upon exiting the LVM part, the partitioner has "forgotten" about
the usage of the /boot and / parts, meaning I have to re-enter that
info. At least it doesn't recreate the filesystems after that.
In short, the partitioner shouldn't forget about the non-LVM filesystems
when doing the LVM stuff.
Thanks,
Paul Slootman
