[Bug 543838] Re: unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta
In the mean time, I've been able to circumvent this bug and finish the installation process normally (using the Alternate CD beta-1 amd64 ISO image) by: 1. creating the physical partitions (fdisk) using the debian-installer's partition manager 2. [CTRL+ALT+F2] creating the RAID array manually: mdadm --create /dev/mdX --level=5 --raid-devices=4 --chunk=256 /dev/sd[abcd]X # I chose to use 256k chunk size 3. creating LVM volumes manually: pvcreate /dev/mdX # NB: LVM seems to recognize the chunk size and align optimally, cf. pvs -o +pe_start vgcreate vg.raid5 /dev/md2 lvcreate -n lv.root -L10G vg.raid5 lvcreate -n lv.var -L10G vg.raid5 lvcreate -n lv.tmp -L10G vg.raid5 4. [CTRL+ALT+F1] Click on "Go Back" in the debian-installer partition manager and click on "Partition Disks" again (partition layout is refreshed); the error is still there (and the /dev/mdX itself can not be used directly) BUT the logical volumes are there and available for use. At the end of the installation, the system reboot and starts flawlessly (the RAID configuration is created successfully by the debian-installer, despite the error displayed by 'parted' 5. Create any "big" logical volumes you need (see 3.) once rebooted PS: even though LVM was used on top of RAID5, bonnie++ performances match what can be expected of the setup (120MB/s block write, 300MB/s block read). Still a hack, but allows to go through the installation process.

This is a parted bug. I agree it needs to be fixed for 10.04 LTS final.

[Bug 543838] Re: unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta
Yes, while it is possible to use the livecd to get a workable system with mdadm, it is a fairly involved process, and would be even more difficult to setup with encryption on top of that by hand. Hence, it would be nice to have an Alternate CD that worked like it used to! If this is just a resource issue of no one having time to look at it, if someone who is familiar with the code would have time to quickly walk me thru how to get the sources setup, I probably have cycles to fix it. -- unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543838 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug still exist in the latest daily build.

[Bug 543838] Re: unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta
Well, my workaround was use the livecd and install mdadm, and configure the array manually on the command line before running the installer. It is far from a perfect install however, because you still have to manually boot into rescue mode after the install and install mdadm again and then mess with grub2 configuration to get things how they need to be. It seems that partman is broken for partitions > 2TB on the alternate install cd, but the routines that the ubiquity uses on the LiveCD works ok. I was going to try it against the latest daily build of the alternate CD to see if they fixed it but the daily builds of the alternate CD seem to be broken for the last couple days. Someone should reassign this bug to partman. -- unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543838 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 543838] Re: unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta
After trying some more things - I think this is a problem with the partition manager - not the kernel. If I switch over to console two during install and manually run mkfs.xfs or mkfs.ext4 or similar commands on the command line on the large partition, they work fine and I can then mount the newly created filesystem and checking dmesg everything seems fine so it seems to just be a problem with the GUI installer. -- unable to create filesystem on 7.5TB partition with lucid beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543838 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
