However, from yast, during install, after creating md1, you can either format the md1, with the options of ext2,ext2,swap,vfat,etc etc. Or choose not to format. But here, it is not possible to choose to label it with lvm
Hi Hans,
I did this same procedure a few weeks ago, and this is how I remember it:
First you create the md1, and there is no need to format it.
Then back in the partitions _main_ menu, you choose LVM, and add md1 to a volume group. (system, for example)
Then you create lvm logical volumes, and format _those_.
Hope this helps, Mourik Jan
