[Sorry for taking so long to respond, your reply had landed in my spam bucket. CC'ed to the mdadm maintainer, who might be interested.] Looks like you're trying to do something that is just not supported. In general the installer does not support direct partitioning of a software raid device.

What version of the kernel in latest testing/etch netinst installer

2006-08-04 Thread asdf
Does the latest (i.e. from daily builds) testing/etch netinst image include the 2.6.17.7 kernel image? I am asking because this version of the kernel (currently the latest stable/release available) includes the fix for the XFS filesystem corruption bug that recently crept into the 2.6.* kernels.
