Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
I have a system containing two 2TB SATA drives which I have configured into a
RAID1 and am using through LVM. When using the Debian 5.03 amd64 installer, I
was unable to use the partitioner provided in the menus to install.
When the partitioner started, I created new partition tables on the otherwise
empty drives. Because the drives are so large (2TB each), the installer wisely
suggested that I use GPT rather than the traditional MBR partition table. I
created a new GPT on each drive with a single partition (named "RAID1-0" and
"RAID1-1" respectively).
I then chose to configure software RAID; this is the point at which things
broke down. I received an error message indicating that there were no Linux
RAID/Autodetect partitions available and that I should format one of my drives
to create one. It is my suspicion that the check to ensure that RAID
partitions exist is assuming an MBR-style partition table.
I ran an mdadm --create command from the secondary terminal and restarted the
partitioner. When it rescanned the disks and discovered my RAID1 already in
place, I was able to set up LVM without difficulty.
