Hi all

First a suggestion for the next release (9.2):
When creating a software raid 1 with xfs file system lilo doesn't know
how to write a boot loader to /dev/md0 device. It saues   that it will
destroy the file system if it does that which is true but instead it
should add raid-extra-boot= mbr-only to lilo.conf and everything
should be ok since it would only write boot loader to the mbr of disks
in the raid.

Current flaw in ML 9.1 :

I have created lvm on top of a raid 1. root file system is on
/dev/root/2. Installation goes ok and when I rerun the installation
system sees /dev/root/2 but under normal running system /dev/root/2 is
newer displayed vgscan sayes that root is active but every other
utility vgdisplay lmdispaly says root is not active. This is really
bad since lilo can't be run because it doesn't see /dev/root/2 and I
cannot add raid-extra-boot= mbr-only to lilo.conf. Instead I had to
rerun installation and under installations console to run lilo so it
would be properly created.

Sorry for my bad English

The last thing is rescue. Rescue is really awful since it doesn't even
recognize raid not to mention lvm . And vim-minimal is really
something that should be replaced with vim-enhanced since most of us are
used to using vim-enhanced by now.
