Hi there, The last couple of days I have been playing around with getting MD support into the Debian installer. Before I spend too much time with, I just want to make sure that noone else is working on this.
What I have right now is a mdadm-udeb package and a mdcfg udeb package. The latter containing the debconf stuff needed for setup, and the necesarry block file for partconf. I have done a test install, having the /-partition on a software RAID-1 device. It was almost painless. The only problem i ran into, was that I had to install the mdadm package manually before installing the kernel, in order for the mkinitrd script to create a proper initrd image. But that's just a question of adding mdadm to the default packages to be installed. Is there a way to do this "dynamically", depending on wether any MD devices are used? The current mdcfg package only support RAID-1 devices as of now. I will release it to the public if it has any interrest (and after I have done just a little bit of cleanup).
