Hi Arnaud, I had fun with Sebastien's HOWTO.. I knew that French they taught me in school would come in useful one day! :) In the end I got RAID working very nicely on my Ultra 60. I may get some bigger harddisks for that box soon, in which case I'll be going through the process again. If so I'll try and do English translation of Sebastien's instructions.

RAID config option missing
Hi, I'm trying to install Debian on a Sun Ultra 60 with 2 SCSI harddisks. I want to use software RAID on the discs. Although I can see the config option in partitioning section for configering RAID, I am not able to set partitions to type Physical volume for RAID in the partition config (which is a pre-requisite to the Configuring RAID step). All the guides I can find tell me I really need to be able to set this option to do the install (although they are all x86 specific). Does anyone know if this is just a bug in the installer, or is there a good reason that this option is missing (ie RAID won't work on this setup)? Or do I need to do something different on sparc systems? Thanks in advance, Jim -- Jim Farrand -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: RAID config option missing
Hi, I read your RAID howto on the Sparc (translation in english) and as well I have been reading a lot thorough the internet, and something confuses me regarding your guide, is that your put the compilation of the kernel after the creation of the mirror. It is quite confusing to me. Have you plans to reogranize your guide?
