Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist When installing a virtual machine, I'd really like to use the entire unpartitioned virtual disk as a filesystem, rather than partitioning it. Doing so then makes the virtual disk contain a filesystem image directly, which I can more easily mount from the host OS. However, debian-installer does not let me create a filesystem directly on a disk device; choosing a disk device only offers me the option of partitioning it.
Similarly, I might want to use disks directly when doing RAID and/or LVM, rather than creating and using partitions. I could live with needing to use expert mode to do this, though I'd prefer to have the option more readily available. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc4 (SMP w/4 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
