(still disabled by default) As the changelog says, last night's rawhide build has support for dmraid during installation. If anybody wants to test this, I'd be really appreciative ;) A couple of ground rules/caveats: 1) Right now on a default install /boot doesn't get mounted after install. In general, "mount -a" doesn't work just yet, and "fsck -a" probably has similar issues. Changing fstab to point at the device instead of a label will probably fix it (I haven't tried that yet ;) 2) It's expecting a partition table on the raid, not a raid on a partition. AFAIK this is how all BIOSes actually lay out the metadata, so that should be normal 3) RAID 0, 1, and (in some cases with some BIOSes) RAID 1+0 only. No RAID 5 or RAID 6 yet, even if your BIOS does it. 4) You'll probably get a nasty failure if you're doing RAID 1 and your drives aren't synced already. (Heinz, we probably should discuss this some) 5) If you move disks that have RAID metadata onto a controller/BIOS that doesn't support it, the installer is still going to think they're perfectly good, and it'll install grub on them, etc. Don't do that. It won't work. 6) If you've added support already and you do an upgrade, it almost certainly won't work. I've got no intention of making this work, either. Sorry. 7) Bug reports should go to bugzilla.redhat.com . File them against anaconda; if they need to be assigned somewhere else, we'll reassign it. So, without further fanfare: To enable this, add "dmraid" to the installer boot command line. -- Peter _______________________________________________ Ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ataraid-list
