Has anyone been able to successfully setup a software raid using autoyast? I've seen a bunch of posts with questions on getting it working, but I haven't seen any successful responses. Specifically I'm trying to mirror /boot, /, and swap without using LVM. I want to keep it simple before I get advanced. It parses my xml file fine, it just can't configure my software RAID. Below is my parititioning section. I've tried many variations on it with no success. Any help is appreciated. My typical error is... "Could not format /dev/md2. You can continue if you know what you are doing, but, to prevent damage your file systems, it is safer to cancel and reboot." <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hde</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <raid_name>/dev/md0</raid_name> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> <size>512M</size> </partition> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <raid_name>/dev/md1</raid_name> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> <size>2g</size> </partition> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <raid_name>/dev/md2</raid_name> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> <size>200g</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/hdg</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <raid_name>/dev/md0</raid_name> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> <size>512M</size> </partition> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <raid_name>/dev/md1</raid_name> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> <size>2g</size> </partition> <partition> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <raid_name>/dev/md2</raid_name> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> <size>200g</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/md</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/boot</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">0</partition_nr> <raid_options> <chunk_size>4</chunk_size> <parity_algorithm>left-asymmetric</parity_algorithm> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> </raid_options> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/md</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">false</format> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">1</partition_nr> <raid_options> <chunk_size>4</chunk_size> <parity_algorithm>left-asymmetric</parity_algorithm> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> </raid_options> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/md</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiserfs</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> <raid_options> <chunk_size>4</chunk_size> <parity_algorithm>left-asymmetric</parity_algorithm> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> </raid_options> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> </partitioning> -- Reynold De Marco Scientific Computing Services
