Hi, This is issue is fixed in the y2update image (and now a tar also), which can be found at www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/y2update. All these changes will be available as official fixed in the next Service Pack. If any issues remain, let me know. Anas Nate Faerber wrote:
Hi,
I am having a lot of trouble getting autoyast to install a raid configuration. I have tried several methods from the "documentation" and mailing-lists but I still get errors regarding the size of '/' and '/var' (basically, the raid arrays are not being set up properly).
This is SLES 8 on an Opteron system. I have even tried installing manually then using yast2 to create a clone.xml. Using the clone.xml untouched on the same system results in a "Preparting the RAID system failed" error.
Here is the partitioning and raid portion of my control file:
