Hi,

as the Etch release managers are asking for additions to the release
notes, I'm wondering whether you could/would want to add notes on the
support status of Windows dynamic volumes [1].

I tried using parted for resizing a dynamic volume (set up as a
"mirrored volume", i.e. a mirror software RAID spanning two physical
disks) the other day, and parted failed to recognize both partitions as
being used by windows, but stated they contained unrecognizable data.

As such, I assume that D-I's partman will not support this either. I
therefore recommend to add a note to the release notes stating that
people considering to install Etch on their system in a multi boot
environment who would like to resize their existing Windows dynamic
volumes using Etch will not be able to do so.

Moritz
