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:
<partitioning config:type="list">
