tags 338719 + patch thanks Hi!
Attached is a patch modifying disk-detect to enable dmraid devices
detection.
This patch does not enable full support for dmraid devices in the whole
debian-installer. Other identified aspects needing work are:
- debian-installer-utils/list-devices and mabye udevinfo
for disk and partition detections ;
also need to hide disks involved in dmraid array
- partman-base/definitions.sh
humandev device name translation
- partman-base/init.d/parted
device detection and filtering
- grub-installer, maybe lilo-installer
for grub, should be somehting like [1]:
device (hd0,x) /dev/mapper/<dmraid_name>x+1
device (hd0) /dev/mapper/<dmraid_name>
root (hd0,x)
setup (hd0)
