Hi there,

Hello,

is it possible with autoyast installation to create a raid1 meta device
(/dev/md1)
with only one partition (/dev/sda1) ?
This does make sense if you want to save the "old system" on partition
(/dev/sdb1)
to have a fast fallback possiblity in case the "new system" does not work.
Up to now I get the error - 6002 , if try it.

dunno if it works with AY, but the command line utility "mdadm" expects
(and accepts) the keyword "missing" in place of the spare device name
(/dev/sdb1 in your case). Worth a try...

HTH, cheers.
