--- Comment #10 from Nikolai Zhubr
YaST does a "dmraid -ay -p". The "-p" is used since udev creates the device nodes for the partitions (at least upto RC2).
Ah, "-p" explains that. Anyway. I just tried RC2 once again carefully. At this time, before confirming formatting disks, I switched to the terminal and did the following. - verified that NO partitions were available (under /proc/partitions and /dev/mapper/...) - did "dmraid -ay". - verified that all partitions appeared both under /proc/partitions and /dev/mapper/... - manually created symlinks from /dev/mapper/isw_xxx_Volume0pX to /dev/mapper/isw_xxx_Volume0_partX to make installer happy - returned to installer and confirmed formatting. After that, installation went on fine and completed successfully. Upon reboot, however, the kernel complained that /dev/mapper/isw_xxx_Volume0_part4 does not exist. This wasn't already surprising though. So, whichever naming for partions is "correct" and whoever (udev, dm) is responsible for creating them, this is broken in RC2 (and probably factory too). It still does not work.
And YaST uses the correct naming for dm-raid. "dmraid -ay -p" uses the wrong.
