Multipath Support in Debian Installer:
This needs to be done to support [http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/wiki/MultipathUsageGuide multipath]ing natively in DebianInstaller:
libaio udeb ([http://bugs.debian.org/440320 #440320]) - done
multipath udeb ([http://bugs.debian.org/440334 #440334]) - done
kernel-wedge needs to support multipath-modules ([http://bugs.debian.org/439410 #439410]) - done
linux-kernel-di-i386 needs to include multipath-modules ([http://bugs.debian.org/440447 #440447]) - done
hw-detect: disk-detect.sh needs to pull in /sbin/multipath and the necessary kernel modules. If there are multipathed devices we need to also pull in partman-multipath. ([http://bugs.debian.org/440439 #440439]) - done, needs upload
parted: correctly identify multipathed devices ([http://bugs.debian.org/440675 #440675]) - patch needs to be updated for partman-1.8
partman-base ([http://bugs.debian.org/442236 #442236]) - done, needs upload:
- needs to skip block devices that are part of a multipathed device (part_of_multipath())
- humandev() needs multipath support
- move all helper functions for the other modules to identify multipath devices here
partman-multipath ([http://git.debian.org/?p=users/joeyh/d-i.git/.git;a=commit;h=5022b5bf4ae6f87279ea4e8f02a7994cd7f8104b added to d-i svn]) - done, needs upload:
- mark devices as multipath
- call kpartx to create the partition mappings
grub: grub-install don't fail to detect multipath devices ([http://bugs.debian.org/442382 #442382]) - patch needs to be updated for grub2
partman-auto: don't skip multipath devices - ([http://bugs.debian.org/468799 #468799]) - done, needs upload
grub-installer needs the same patch as grub's grub-install and furthermore mustn't treat mpath devices as LVM ([http://bugs.debian.org/468832 #468832]) - done, needs upload
- update the installer manual (TBD)
- put up a monolithic image for easy testing (TBD)
All the points above do have patches attached, you'll need all the ones that aren't already marked as done to get working multipath support in d-i.
Multipath Testing
To enable multipath support during installation use
- install disk-detect/multipath/enable=true
at the installer prompt. If multipathed devices are found these then show up as /dev/mapper/mpathX during installation.
