Hi The primary question is how to create non-standard configuration for partitions. That layout can't be created by current partman at all.
Sample layout: All partitions are under EVMS control. There are 3 RAID1 items: /, swap and /var/log via EVMS (/dev/evms/root, /dev/evms/swap, /dev/evms/log ). RAID1 chunks with identical size must be created for every disk founded. And lately assembled. There are also some work with boot-loader to allow boot from every disk from disk set. All things must be done in OEM-style installation (preseed heavily used). Doing my homework: 1. I recognize that ancient evms-udeb had been dropped from evms source package in sarge days. Revived by hands and works. 2. partoconf: test_evms function do nothing for modern evms state. 3. partman: has no EVMS support at all The questions: 1. How can I switch off partman or replace it by simple custom shell script? 2. How to tell to partman about new special /dev/evms/* layout ? 3. How to inform LILO to make the own boot records for every disk in set? PS: Please, don't tell me about EVMS upstream status. -- With best regards, Vlad Shakhov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
