Similarly for LVM.
Ditto.
And YaST does this automatically?
It does it in some cases; I do not know if it does it in every configuration. But this is also orthogonal to whether we need separate /boot or not.
Well, if I'm going to install a new system with raid 5 or 6, my traditional knowhow says I have to install a separate /boot replicated on each disk, and run grub 3 or 4 times manually to install grub on all.
Instead, if I can go with no separate /boot and YaST handles it all correctly so that system will always boot regardless of what disk is missing, that's something very interesting to know ;-)
It does it at least for RAID1 (also multiple disks) and somebody recently reported that YaST did it also for RAID5; so yes, it works.
I don't mention LVM because I have never installed it.
That I do not know, but I do not remember seeing any code to handle LVM explicitly, so suspect YaST will not do it.
The other configuration I want is encrypted full disk without LVM. YaST does not support it, the procedure is manual. To avoid separate /boot, grub has to understand encryption and ask for the password early enough.
It understands it. I lost count of how many times I told you so. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
