Bug#757244: installation-reports: No separated /boot filesystem
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
This week I installed two similar wheezy system.
I have two RAID1 arrays. A small 300 MB md0 for /boot and
a 80 GB md1 for LVM with usual filesystems (root, usr, var and so on).
I both cases I marked /dev/md0 as ext4 /boot. However the installer
forgot it after mkfs. It was not mounted during install as well as
it was missing from fstab. The kernel and grub files silently
went to root filesystem.
I had to copy content of /boot to the manually mounted /dev/md0
and to fix fstab.
