fabbionehey braddr 06:36
fabbionei just found why it is not possible to make raid install06:37
fabbionefrigging annoying bug06:37
braddris there a category of bugs that _isnt_ annoying?06:40
fabbioneyes the one that are not down a stack of 5 layers06:41
braddrmatter of degrees at that point.06:41
fabbionesee all starts from a debconf menu in the installer that does not show RAID as an option06:41
fabbioneget to find the code that generate that menu and see if it is buggy06:42
fabbioneof course it's ok06:42
=== braddr ponders on how to fix a bug in this configury logic.
fabbionethat code talk to a daemon via a socket06:42
fabbioneso you check the socket06:42
fabbionethen the dameon06:42
fabbioneto figure it talks to a library06:42
fabbioneyou check that library and you find out that it has arch specific code06:42
fabbionewhere for sparc doesn't even know that raid exists06:43
braddrraid is good for killing bugs though, so it's all ok in the end.06:43
fabbioneeheh06:43
braddrnow, to figure out how to detect the end of the stack under solaris.06:43
fabbionethe worst part is to test the fix06:43
fabbionegetting from booting to that point in the installer takes about 15 minutes06:43

fabbionemake -j4096 on a kenrel build will pump it more :)01:24
fabbioneanyway.. installation on raid works now01:24
fabbioneassuming safe definitions of RAID01:24
