Version: included in netinst,iso
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc3/sarge-i386-netinst.iso from 2005-05-03
During the installation I'm offered to partition the host; I have two hard drives installed, which shall become RAID1 system partitions, therefore I thought to create the following HD layout (for each disk):
1. /boot 2. swap 3. RAID1 partition
within the RAID1 partition I wanted to create separate paritions for /, /var and /tmp.
However, the partitioner does not create any parition table within the md-device, hence, to create more than one partition in it fails. However, if you choose to let the partitioner automatically create an layout in the md-device, it creates multiple partitions ;-)
I would say that the bug is that you cannot partition md-devices.
I also tried to put an LVM onto the RAID1 device, but that failed with the error that there is no unused partition.
Also, when there are the md- partitions, they are not displayed when you reboot, but only after you select to create a RAID device, which fails, because there is no unused partition left. When you return to the main screen, the RAID device is displayed.
Bye.
