Has anyone been able to successfully setup a software raid using
autoyast? I've seen a bunch of posts with questions on getting it
working, but I haven't seen any successful responses. Specifically I'm
trying to mirror /boot, /, and swap without using LVM. I want to keep
it simple before I get advanced. It parses my xml file fine, it just
can't configure my software RAID. Below is my parititioning section.
I've tried many variations on it with no success. Any help is
appreciated. My typical error is...
"Could not format /dev/md2. You can continue if you know what you are
doing, but, to prevent damage your file systems, it is safer to cancel
and reboot."
