Public bug reported:
Using the alternate install cd for manual partitioning with raid
partitions on 3 disks:
120 + 120 + 200 GiB -->
3*100 MiB raid1 /dev/md0 (ext2 - /boot)
3*1 GiB swap
3*119 GiB raid5 /dev/md1 (ext3 - /)
All Linux partitions are formatted.
Windows XPPsp2 was already installed on the remaining 80 GiB of the
third disk. (ntfs).
I tried to mount the ntfs partition on /windows. This is one of the
suggested mount points in the installer, the other is /dos.
When saving the changes, the installer starts formatting the partitions.
After that, it mounts the partitions.
The installer gives a message that it failed to mount the /windows
partition, and comes back to the partitions list.
Already tried:
* manually entering another mount pount (/mnt/windows, /data, /data/windows,
/media/windows,...) --> failed with the same message.
* not mounting the ntfs partition --> installer continues without any further
errors.
I encountered this problem in the alternate install cds of 6.10; 6.10 beta;
6.06; and I think even 5.10 (not 100% sure about the last one).
