Hello, I'm running SI 3.5.3 and am having some trouble with the <image>.master and autoinstallscript.conf files:
------ Setup: ------ /dev/md0 : /boot RAID1 (sda1 sdb1) /dev/md1 : swap RAID0 (sda2 sdb2) /dev/md2 : / RAID0 (sda3 sdb3) /dev/md3 : LVM RAID0 (sda4 sdb4) 1) The autoinstallscript.conf file has this line: <part num="4" size="*" p_type="primary" p_name="-" flags="raid" /> Which should really read: <part num="4" size="*" p_type="primary" p_name="-" flags="raid,lvm" lvm_group="vg" /> For some reason it didn't detect that /dev/md3 should be RAID *and* LVM... I added the above line to see where it would take me: (I believe these lines are generated based on the partition type flag, obviously I can only set either raidautodetect or lvm, not both and that is probably why it incorrectly set these flag?). Anyways, so later on it appears that: 2) <image>.master script - mkraid for /dev/md3 never executed - mkswap for /dev/md1 never executed - LVM tried to create volume group on /dev/sda4, NOT /dev/md3 - apparently it was unaware that LVM sits on a raid partition (and not /dev/sda4 - which is part of the md3 raid partition). Perhaps my 'flags="raid,lvm"' hack was a bad idea? 3) systemconfigurator --runboot fails because it scans /etc/fstab and sees: /dev/md0 /boot ext3 noatime 1 1 It doesn't have an appropriate map for md0 and croaks. If I change the 'md0' to read 'sda1', it works, and this is a possible solution, but I was wondering whether there might be a more elegant solution.
