You need an <lv> tag here as you also can define multiple (a list) of logical volumes.
Thanks, I missed that...
i.e., what I want to have is a logical volume spanning 2 physical volumes. What yast2 does is something else (unfortunately log files are deleted):
Please try the update package from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/nashif/autoyast2
Thank you, I will have a go on it!
Afterwards I added the corresponding configuration manually and encountered another problem: The size of the volume group was calculated by yast to be 27.3G (in the screen where volumes are assigned to volume groups), but on the next screen I was offered a maximum file system size of 27.9G for formatting. This did not work out, for obvious reasons...
Hmmm, I can't reproduce. BTW, you have t PVs of 14gb and you create an LV with 29,2 GB! How should this work? Or am I missing something?
The numbers were just what yast2 calculated for me.
In addition, I would like to be able to configure mount points that are not assigned to devices at install time (like tmpfs, usb storage devices), but I can not find a way to configure them outside the <partition> sections.
Configure in what way! Aren;t those filesystems automatically added to fstab?
Not by default. As an example, I would like to have an mountpoint tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,mode=0777 for the /tmp file system. Also I have got an USB zip drive that may be used with all workstations in the department. But when I install them with autoyast, the zip drive will not be auto-detected because it will not be present at that time. So I need to add a line /dev/sdXX /media/zip auto noauto,users manually (and create the mount point). In addition, I would like to be able to set the default options for any removable media to "...,users,..." instead of "...,user,..." Up to now I have used a post-script that does these things, but this could interfere with changes made by yast2.
