Something now works, but seems the problem is with the preservation of
RAID volumes: if I remove the "preserve_lazy:3,6" from RAID config, the
system installs. But overwrites partitions with data I'd need to keep.
I also tried moving preserve_lazy to volume lines like
raid1 - disk1.3,disk2.3,disk3.3:preserve_lazy ext4 noauto createopts="-L
PERMDATA"
but it fails.
Any help appreciated. Nobody have had to preserve a RAID volume between
installs and can share an example?
TIA

Hello all.
I'm having issues trying to create a layout from scratch.
I used the RAID example to write this:
-8<--
disk_config disk1 bootable:1 preserve_lazy:3,6
primary - 200M - -
primary swap 2G - -
primary - 120M-122M - -
logical - 15G - -
logical - 10G - -
logical - 1G- - -
disk_config disk2 sameas:disk1
disk_config disk3 sameas:disk1
disk_config raid fstabkey:uuid preserve_lazy:3,6
raid1 /boot disk1.1,disk2.1,disk3.1 ext4
rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
raid1 - disk1.3,disk2.3,disk3.3 ext4 noauto createopts="-L
PERMDATA"
raid5 / disk1.5,disk2.5,disk3.5 ext4
rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
raid1 /var/lib/mysql disk1.6,disk2.6,disk3.6 ext4
rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev,rw
raid5 /home disk1.7,disk2.7,disk3.7 ext4
rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev,rw
-8<--
The first issue is that I have yet to grasp the difference between
preserve_reinstall and preserve_lazy. But at least when there's no
partition table and flag_initial=1 it seems preserve_reinstall errors
out (cause it can't read the partition table) while preserve_lazy allows
to continue.
But now it errors out:
-8<--
INTERNAL ERROR in setup-storage:
filesystem is undefined
Please report this error to the Debian Bug Tracking System.

Any hints?
