From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050130 Fedora/1.7.5-3 Description of problem: Due to most alternate use cases of the disk druid in anaconda leading to fatal errors, and due to a bug where the anaconda installer cannot detect RAID1 partitions if both halves of the RAID1 mirror is not present, it is sometimes necessary to attempt to set up partitions manually using the shell. Unfortunately the "mkraid" command is missing from the anaconda subsystem, preventing the user from working around limitations in the disk druid. In addition the "raidstart" command is brain dead, as it bombs out with a fatal error if one half of a RAID1 mirror is not available! The only workaround is to "mkraid" the RAID1 partitions, which brings the partitions back to life. This is only possible though if the mkraid partition can be mounted from external storage like another harddrive or a USB device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: xxx Additional info:
mkraid is from the (obsolete) raidtools. It has been replaced by mdadm.
