Uwe,
have some problems to install 3 raidpartitions in a extended partition with lvm on top.
example:
sda5,sdb5=raidpair1 raid1 with /dev/system on top
sda6,sdb6=raidpair2 raid1 with /dev/home
...
Do I have to declare the extended partition or does the engine know to create
the extended partition when a partition_nr >4 is specified?
Where do I have to specify the partition_nr?
I declared in the drive block for sda partition_nr 5, raid_name /dev/md0
partition_nr 6 raid_name /dev/md1
<partition>
253
5
/dev/md0
<size>16G</size></partition>
</partition>
The same for the drive block sdb
In drive block for /dev/md
for each lvm_group something like
<partition>
system
5
false
raid1
</partition>
Do I have to provide above the same partition_nr like for the äquivalent sdx-partition?
Or should I omit the partition_nr?
The drive block for the lvg looks like below
<drive>
<device>/dev/system</device>
true
<lvm2 config:type="boolean">true</lvm2>
<partitions config:type="list">
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
root
<mount>/</mount>
<size>10G</size>
</partition>
<partition>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
tmp
<mount>/tmp</mount>
<size>1G</size>
</partition>
</partitions>
<pesize>4M</pesize>
<use>all</use>
</drive>
<drive>
There is still something wrong with my configuration. yast2.log shows creation of /dev/md5 /dev/md6 /dev/md7.
The installation ends with an error in the partition section.
Thanks,
Jochen

which is the correct entry for an extended partition_type:
extended ?
don't specify the extended partition in the profile.
partition_nr > 4 will be a logic one in an extended partition.
