Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: d-i Hi
Trying to preseed RAID1 partitioning leads always to have to confirm
question before partitioning. The error is like
---(error)--------------------------------------------------------------
Partition disks
---------------
Before RAID can be configured, the changes have to be written to the storage
devices. These changes cannot be undone.
When RAID is configured, no additional changes to the partitions in the disks
containing physical volumes are allowed. Please convince yourself that you are
satisfied with the current partitioning scheme in these disks.
The partition tables of the following devices are changed:
SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)
SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb)
Write the changes to the storage devices and configure RAID?
1. Yes 2. No [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The preseed configuration looks as follows. The preseed.cfg is
following the examples given and the same configuration works fine
with the Debian Installer for Lenny.
