I found this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465587 but wanted to check on the status. I found that the live CD for p2v has mdadm on it, so I can start the RAID manually from tty2, but I can't figure out how to get p2v to redetect the drives (and I'm not sure it will even detect the RAID devices if I start them). I was wondering, what would it take to make this work? I could split the drives, and change the partition type from FD (RAID autodetect) to 83 (Linux). I could then edit the fstab to look at a single drive instead of an md device. Would that do it or does RAID write something else to the disk that would throw p2v off? I'd *REALLY* love it if p2v would just detect and use the RAID. The bug mentions that Rich has no hardware to test this on...I've gotboxen o'plenty, and am willing to test if that helps.

All future postings to this list will be rejected with a message refering users to one of the new mailing lists. For more details read on.... This list originally came into being as a place for discussing projects under Red Hat's 'emerging technology' moniker, hence the prefix 'et-'. In retrospect this was a really bad choice of names for a mailing list and causes endless confusion for people wrt what to discuss where. Most of the emerging technology projects have lists of their own (cobbler, augeas, libguestfs, libvirt) and it is about time that virt-manager and friends joined them. To that end we have created a new mailing list 'virt-tools-list'. This will be the new home for all developer & user discussions relating to the following applications - virt-manager - virt-viewer - virt-install - virt-clone - virt-image - virt-convert It is bad etiquette to mass-subscribe people to mailing lists, so anyone who is interested in following ongoing progress of these tools should make sure to visit the listinfo page & subscribe themselves: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list As a full summary of where to post: - virt-manager, virt-install, virt-viewer, virt-clone, virt-image, virt-convert https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list - libvirt https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list - cobbler https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler-devel - augeas https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/augeas-devel - libguestfs, virt-df https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs - Fedora virt related questions https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
