Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): boot.iso 20090404 see parent bug for detail about hardware How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install with LVM + RAID + ext4 (custom partitionning), 2 1To Drives mirrored 2. 3. Actual results: interface is not very responsive formatting takes forever (>30 min) console shows many message about raid Expected results: /dev/md0 contains /boot on ext3 -> should be forced synchronized before allowing the user to reboot /dev/md1 should be resynchronized in background ext4 use prefetch -> formatting should be very fast the whole should take only a few seconds/minutes As drives get cheaper, I think it's important to correct this. Additional info: I think it's a regression as with boot.iso from March, results were very fast As I could never finish installation correctly with LVM + Raid, I can't really conclude ...
Can you pls attach logs from the installation. They are located in /tmp/* while you are installing.
Just retested with boot.iso 20090424/anaconda-11.5.0.47-1 This now works correctly except for progress bar (see bug 497701) Takes about 1 minute for all the formatting to occur which is a great improvment as I've got two 1To disk and it would take a lot more time in ext3 times... (See parent bug for config)
