Thanks! However it seems to me that a nice addition would be an option for chunksize - after all it asks you how many disks are in the array, and chunksize is probably the next most likely thing you would want to specify. Overall I think the partitioner is very good, and pleasant to use (I got to play with it about 4-6 times whilst diagnosing the software raid boot problems I was having...). regards Mark -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
