[...] From the logs you attached: Jan 4 23:08:06 partman-md: Selected spare count: 1 Jan 4 23:08:06 partman-md: RAID devices count: 4 Jan 4 23:08:06 partman-md: Spare devices count: 1 Jan 4 23:08:06 partman-md: mdadm: You haven't given enough devices (real or missing) to create this array It seems it was selected one spare device and weren't available the minimum of 4 devices - maybe from a previous installation? I have made several installation with latest installer release (Debian Squeeze RC2) [1] and RAID6 creation has been sucessful without any hassles. I recommend to try use the current installer release, Debian Squeeze RC2, and when you reach partitioning delete any previous raid setup, before setup the wanted raid setup. I am closing the installation report as there weren't enough devices for a raid6 installation. If you try with the RC2 release please give us feedback with a installation report. 1 - http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo http://www.DebianPT.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
