Should the following be possible:
make a raid-1 with 2 disks, on top of that put lvm and after that create some filesystems in the volume group.
I especially wonder about the lvm on top of the raid. I tried to do that with yast, but yast does not seem to be able to do that.
I can configure the raid, I can go to create lvm -> but it shows the only the physical devices and not the raid. Is this a limit in yast? Is there a workaround?

The short answer is ... yes.
Good to know, that I'm on the right path :)
You don't say which version of SuSE you are using. I was very happy to see the 9.3 installer handle this perfectly. In previous versions it would switch the
It's suse-9.3
boot loader to Lilo and/or have trouble with this combination. I would set this up manually using a method I've posted here in the past.
Can you post it again?
When you created the RAID device, did you format it (you shouldn't)? If the RAID device is unformated and unmounted, the Yast LVM module should show it as a usable device.
This does all work through Yast.
It's during initial installation, so nothing is there it's all virtual.I have to devices hda and hdc. I assign both (the whole disk for the moment) to the raid. This works fine. After that I start to create the lvm. This pops up a window telling that there are no devices left for the lvm. It does not "see" the /dev/md0 device :( Should lvm see the /dev/md0 device? -- Richard
