Kickstart for the file attached.
There are 2 multipathed devices: sda/sdc and sdb/sdd
The second paths devices aren't being used at all in the config file (sdc and
sdd are untouched).

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2005-04-29 14:40:41 UTC
Can you provide the full traceback?  The kernel messages that get included there
are likely to help a bit.

Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2005-04-29 14:54:14 UTC
From the install logs:
* formatting /boot as ext3
* formatting /boot2 as ext3
* going to run: ['/usr/sbin/mdadm', '--create', '/dev/md1', '--run',
'--chunk=256', '--level=1', '--raid-devices=2', '/dev/sda2', '/dev/sdb2']
* error reading swap label on /dev/vg00: [Errno 21] Is a directory
* error reading xfs label on /dev/vg00: [Errno 21] Is a directory
* error reading jfs label on /dev/vg00: [Errno 21] Is a directory

NAK.  This is a feature request.

Comment 37 Susan Denham 2006-04-12 21:24:49 UTC
This request has deferred until we have implemented mirroring support and can
reproduce this bug.   It will be added to the list of RHEL 4.5 requests.

This bugzilla had previously been approved for engineering
consideration but Red Hat Product Management is currently reevaluating
this issue for inclusion in RHEL4.6.

Comment 52 RHEL Program Management 2007-05-09 11:21:35 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.
