Package: debian-installer Version: debian-installer for testing Severity: important
Using debian testing installer (downloaded it some hour's ago): Environment is virtualbox host with 4 drives. 1. selected Manual for Partitioning Method. 2. created a new partition on each of the 4 disks 3. selected configure RAID 4. wrote changes to disks 5. selected RAID5 6. selected 4 devices for active and 0 for spare 7. wrote changes, finish with RAID 8. partitioner now shows a RAID5 device with one partition with the full size of the device (which I cannot delete in order to create my desired partitions) Why is that? I would have expected to find 'free space' under the new raid device and be able to create partitions as I like. I also find strange that I see from a console that there is /dev/md0 but no partitions (I guess it would look like /dev/md0p1)... I worked around this by creating partitions with fdisk on the /dev/md0 (which resulted in /dev/md0p1 and /dev/md0p2) and all went smoothly afterwards. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
