Package: partman-base Severity: normal Issue the following commands in the D-I shell:
~ # modprobe raid1 ~ # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --auto=yes -l1 -n2 /dev/ram0 /dev/ram1 mdadm: array /dev/md0 started. Then restart partman. With the text backend it says: 6. RAID1 device #0 - 8.3 MB Software RAID device 7. > #1 4.2 MB Note the inconsistent size report. This is probably caused by the ramdisks having sector size of 1024 bytes, as per: ~ # fdisk -l /dev/md0 Note: sector size is 1024 (not 512) Disk /dev/md0: 8 MB, 8323072 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 1016 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 1024 = 8192 bytes As persistent storage devices can also have non 512 byte sectors, this issue can have real impact on the installer, at least by confusing users.
