Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
the debian installer will fail to prevent the user from defining more than
10 raid md devices. I reckon that there is a hard limit for the maximum
number of md devices, yet the installer will happily continue with letting
the user define more than what is permitted by the hard coded limit.
In the end, this will lead to a painful lessons learned, as the user will
have to redo alls of his partitioning scheme, and, considering that the
same user created multiple software raids of various levels, and,
subsequently also, multiple volume groups, the learning process has been
very painful.
It would be great if the installer would detect and prevent the erroneous
situation.
This is a bug that is not only present in debian but also most of its
derivates.
Regards,
Carsten
