Description Dr. Tilmann Bubeck 2009-06-23 11:25:17 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently you want the user to create some partitions and combine them to a RAID. This RAID contains a file system and is mounted somewhere. The following picture shows the current situation:

sda1 \
sdb1  >-- md0 -- ext3 -- /usr
sdc1 /

sda2 \
sdb2  >-- md1 -- ext3 -- /var
sdc2 /

Please extend anaconda, so that it is possible to first create a RAID (on complete disks or partitions) and then partition this RAID into multiple file systems. The functionality can be found in mdadm --auto=mdp where MDP means "RAID with partitions". This could look like:

sda \            / -- md0p0 -- ext3 -- /usr
sdb  >--- md0 --<
sdc /            \ -- md0p1 -- ext3 -- /var

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 6 Dr. Tilmann Bubeck 2011-06-03 09:24:16 UTC
It is still open for F15. David Lehman thankfully changed version to "rawhide".

Comment 7 David Lehman 2015-09-11 15:31:51 UTC
As of python-blivet-1.12-1 existing md arrays whose members are all whole disks are treated as partitionable disks.
