Package: evms Version: 2.5.2-1 Severity: wishlist I would like to be able to use the Debian installer to create a system in which all the partitions, including root, were managed by EVMS.
The daily builds of the etch installer have support for LVM but not, as far as I can tell, EVMS. I don't have a good sense of what's involved in making this happen, and it may be the installer team doesn't want the added complexity. There appear to be quite a few bugs against EVMS (mostly concerning making initrd's) that probably need to be fixed before it can work with the installer. A more modest solution would be to provide instructions about how to use EVMS with the installer. At the moment it appears to require a two or three step process: 1) install regular Debian system 2) make EVMS system and partitions 3) delete original system and reclaim its space. This seems awkward.
