Likewise with this. > Dapper installation supports LVM over FakeRaid *even less*. It's not supposed to. Edgy should have dm-fakeraid and dm-crypt support in the installer, if all goes well. I have some servers to install tomorrow night, so I'll test this again. In the (surprising and reasonably unlikely) event that RAID and LVM support is actually broken in d-i, we'll certainly try to provide fixes in the next point release. -- Ivan Krstic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPG: 0x147C722D -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server

A couple of things: [1] Do you not think it might have been wise to actually /mention/ this, in the setup program at the very least? This is a major change in hardware requirements since 5.10 which works fine on the same hardware. [2] Thanks for the tip, but it is just a tip, rather than actual guidance.

I think there have been several proposals to implement this through the Summer of Code program, but if it doesn't get done that way, it'll likely be high up on the Server Team's list for Edgy. People with other server-related ideas should post about them on the ubuntu-server list or approach me on IRC, so Adam and I can discuss them at UFK.

Re: SMFication Project registered + proposal
Erast Benson wrote: SMF adoption by Ubuntu could be in benefit for both distributions. I'm looking for people who would be interested in such a work, i.e. Ubuntu port of SMF service manager and SMFication of existing Ubuntu packages. As I've said several times on this list, SMF seems to me like the best solution to system service management out there at the moment, and one that Ubuntu should have. This would make a great project for hackers looking for their claim to Ubuntu fame. So, want to get involved? Get in touch with Erast, and let's get the ball rolling.
