>Description:
"sysinst" offers a choice of upgrading on "raid0" -- so far so
good, but then it chokes, saying "raid2p" fails to fsck. Escaping
to the shell shows that only raid0 was configured, which would be
fine, except for that "sysinst" evidently wants to "fsck" everything
in "/etc/fstab".
>How-To-Repeat:
I think it will fail whenever you have more than one raid device.
It doesn't even matter if you choose to upgrade on one of the raid
devices, or not.
>Fix:
I seem to remember that it works to comment out unnecessary
partitions from "/etc/fstab", although that fact slipped my mind
when I was testing "sysinst" this afternoon. It would be reasonable
to configure more raid partitions automatically. The INSTALL kernel
already has "pseudo-device raid 8". Is it that some of the default
raid devices are missing from "/dev"?
