Multipath Support in Debian Installer:

This needs to be done to support [http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/wiki/MultipathUsageGuide multipath]ing natively in DebianInstaller:

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.
