This is series of 5 new patches. These patches obsoletes previous patches. All patches were rebased to the version anaconda-11.5.0.51.1 - commit 874455669aec86557c26f1769f42e8505785b545 Patches adds new class MDRaidContainerDevice for MD containers. MD containers are not displayes in partitioning window. Support for new kernel parameter iswmd was added in booty. This patches requires mdadm 3.0 which is not available in rawhide yet. As grub don't open correctly partition created during installation, workaround is needed. For example, for device /dev/md126 anaconda can create partition /dev/md126p1, but grub will try to open partition using device /dev/md1261, so during installation on second console user should create link in /mnt/sysimage/dev using command: ln -s dev/md126p1 dev/1261, and later for all partition.
ok patches 1 and 2 look good. About patch 3, you do not seem to do anything with the level, memberDevices, totalDevices and bitmap arguments to the new class' __init__ method may I suggest removing the arguments? Patch 4 looks ok About patch 5, see my comments in the separate reply to that. Can you please make a list with what else needs to be done besides these anaconda patches to get the iswmd support in a testable condition. I know that we need a new mdadm and some fixes to grub, but can you please be *A LOT* more verbose / clear about what is exactly needed ? All your comments about this sofar have been very vague, making them basically unusable. Also have you already filed bugs against grub anb mdadm for this? If so what are the bug numbers? And have you included details, like what *EXACTLY* does not work with the current versions, how this could be fixed (preferably multiple options if present) and what way you suggest to fix this.
