[opensuse-autoinstall] Not Creating /dev/md
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/53f559c363205a3c0389ffc48ca9c7b7.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I'm having trouble with getting autoyast to create software RAID devices. The partitions get created on the devices but the /dev/md devices fail to get created. This is for SLED 11.0. The partition setup I'd like is the following. /sd*1 md0 /boot /sd*2 swap /sd*3 md1 /var /sd*4 md2 / This is the partition section of the autoinst.xml, I've compared it with the autoyast documentation and it looks like it should work. Thank you in advance for any assistance. <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/sda</device> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list">

I just did a very quick look at the XML but this:
<use>1,3,4</use> </drive> </partitioning>
does not look right to me. Better use <use>all</use> -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Stage Fright" by Edge Of Dawn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
