Bug Description
Hi,
after a not-so-good upgrade to 6.10 via dist-upgrade, I am now trying to reinstall from the liveCD.
I choose manual partitioning.
My /dev/hda1 = 10 GB, will be reformatted as ext3, so far so good.
My /dev/hda4 = 100 GB, is an existing reiserfs and should be mounted as /home. /dev/hda4 is part of a software raid1 array.
My /dev/hdc1 = 30 GB and should be reformatted as ext3
So, what happens after the partitioner formats /dev/hdc2 and /dev/hda1 ? It stops and tells it can't mount /home.
If I choose 'continue' the installer exits.
I switched to a terminal and tried to mount /dev/hda4, and this is the error I got:
root@ubuntu:~# mount /dev/hda4 /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'
The graphical installer just said there was a problem, not that there was a problem with 'raid'.
This is the error message in the graphical interface:
The attempt to mount a file system with type reiserfs in IDE1 master, partition #4 (hda4) at /test2 failed.
You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu.
