Relevant to Bug # 134638.
Simple, very limited addition to allow striped Logical Volumes. Can't choose
the number of stripes nor the size of the stripes yet. Working on it.
The diffs are attached.
Thank you! It's a start. I've marked RFE bug #223673 as a dupe.
A question, since your patch doesn't show up in rawhide yet... What is the
quickest and most painless way to roll a test netstg2 nowadays? Do these
old crib notes http://www.Doty.org/blog/curtis/2006#hacking-anaconda still
apply or is there a more modern way that doesn't require mounting a loop?

There are two methods to include any python patch to the anaconda
installer. You can make an updates.img image with the patches and place
it somewhere in the installation tree or you can create a RHupdates
directory and place it somewhere in the installation tree. The exact
place to put it may vary but you can look in anacondas docs
(/usr/share/doc/anaconda-#.#.#.#/install-methods.txt) to see where to
put it. I use the image method with a script to do all the dirty
work. I use `sudo` in the script because I have to access a shared
installation tree and need to be root to write any changes, but if you
have a different setup in your office you can change it.
I've used it for fc6 and rawhide and it works fine.
