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> <partition_id config:type="integer">253</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> <raid_name>/dev/md0</raid_name> <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> <lvm_group>system</lvm_group> <partition_nr config:type="integer">5</partition_nr> <raid_options> <persistent_superblock config:type="boolean">false</persistent_superblock> <raid_type>raid1</raid_type> </raid_options> </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> <is_lvm_vg config:type="boolean">true</is_lvm_vg> <lvm2 config:type="boolean">true</lvm2> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>root</lv_name> <mount>/</mount> <size>10G</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format> <lv_name>tmp</lv_name> <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.

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