I've made a patch to enhance setup_harddisks in order for it to support the creation of Software RAID partitions.
The file setup_harddisks_raid_support.patch is the patch against the latest SVN version. It is attached to this email. Here is the config file I've used: disk_config hda primary /boot 200 rw ;boot xfs primary swap 500 rw primary / 3000 rw ;xfs primary - 3000- rw ;raid Here is the output of my patched setup_harddisks: setup_harddisks version 0.38fai Probing disks: /dev/hda Disks found: hda Using config file: /tmp/fileCCTlE4 Creating partition table: LC_ALL=C sfdisk -q /dev/hda < /tmp/partition.hda Creating file systems: mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hda1 mkswap /dev/hda2 mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hda3 fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) And the partition table after it: myfai:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 10.0 GB, 10005037568 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19386 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 407 205127+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 408 1423 512064 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 1424 7519 3072384 83 Linux /dev/hda4 7520 19386 5980968 fd Linux raid autodetect I hope this would help. Please include it in the SVN version. Thanks. -- Cyril Bouthors
