Package: installation-reports Version: debian 7 i386 installer build 20130430 Boot method: USB stick
I wanted to delete old partitions and create RAID partition on hard drive. During installation: - I clicked on the disk driver (sda) - to delete partition - installer asked: do you want to start with new partition table? - I chose yes - installer asked to confirm it will destroy a RAID. - confirmed, yes But nothing was deleted. Work-around: delete the raid first. Configure RAID -> delete RAID -> delete md0. Then delete partition tables (start over). How it should work: it should deleted the RAID that used this driver. OR: also: some function to totally start over (delete all partition tables, all RAIDs, all LVMs, all DM/crypto). But how it should work for several hard drives? OR: function to manually partition WITHOUT auto-using existing things. It will skip auto-detecting RAID, LVM, DM/crypto. It would also solve most of the bugs regarding problems when overwriting on old partially broken or incompatible disk systems. -- Jabber/XMPP: [email protected] Reporting bugs in Open Source software for creating great and free software for all users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
