Status of multipath support in d-i
Hi,
just a short heads up on the status of multipath in d-i (built from
unstable on 2008-08-14) [0]:
Since the parted-udeb now contains the necessary patches from #440675
(thanks again Otavio!) things are in pretty good shape. Udev is still
broken (#493075) and we could do a bit better on error handling
(#495330) during partitioning. Besides from that with one minor glitch
[1] everything works until the grub installation, which runs but leaves
you with a unbootable system (#442382).
Until this is fixed in order to get grub setup correctly either use the
patch in the BTS or flush the multipath map (multipath -F) and mount the
devices single path.
Cheers,

[1] the partitioning method dialog looks broken:

When going back to the main menu and selecting "Partition Disks" the
disks to partition pop up fine and the installation can proceed. Still
have to debug if this happens with non multipath installs too.
