Description Jun'ichi NOMURA 2007-05-10 20:03:46 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #200294 +++

Description of problem:
  Anaconda to enable LVM2 mirror configuration

Additional info:
  As of FC5, only linear mapped LV can be configurable in anaconda.
  Other mappings, especially mirror, needs to be configured.

I don't see how we could possibly add support for this, as it's going to be a
fairly major change with high risk of introducing new bugs.  It's also going to
involve a lot of UI and translation changes which we try to avoid for update
releases.  The correct way to do this is to get it on a bug list for F8 where we
can develop and test it, and then work it into the next major release of RHEL.

Comment 5 Joel Andres Granados 2007-08-27 18:47:11 UTC 
I only changed the kickstart part of the installation to activate mirroring. 
This I hope will serve as a test case for future changes in the gui and text
installs.  comments are *greatly* appreciated.

Same functionality, different way of coding

I changed some things in the code to reflect a discussion in the anaconda devel
list
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2007-August/msg00071.html  


In summary I created new classes and methods to implement the mirroring stuff
(as discussed in anaconda-devel).  the updates.img that I used will be
http://jgranado.fedorapeople.org/updates.img.

This patch does not Obsolete my previous patch to anaconda.  Its just a
different way of doing stuff:)
Comment 11 Joel Andres Granados 2009-04-21 09:13:54 UTC 
With the storage rewrite going strong all these patches no longer apply.  This issue should be addressed for releases after f11.
Comment 12 Jeff Layton 2009-07-29 17:57:25 UTC 
So is there an actual plan to make this happen in >= f12?

Given that bug 512594 was closed WONTFIX, is there actual interest in making this work?

This would be a good thing to have in place since it looks like barrier support is being fixed in LVM upstream.
Comment 13 Joel Andres Granados 2009-07-30 08:15:13 UTC 
Its too late for f12, and there has not been a great effort to get this in.  Patches accepted :)
