Description
This pull request adds the possibility to the partitioner of defining an MD RAID array on top of full disks, not only on top of partitions. https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/pull/726
It would be nice to have a test probing that it actually works. For example, combining a disk and a partition in the same RAID.
I suggest to work on #42731 first
let's focus more on improving our current tests and workflows first. Putting to "holding tank" :)
Move to new QSF-y PO after I moved to the "tools"-team. I mainly checked the subject line so in individual instances you might not agree to take it over completely into QSF-y. Feel free to reassign to me or someone else in this case. Thanks.
Trying to catch up with SP2, as not relevant to SLE 12
See conclusions of related "research" ticket https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/41276#note-20
There are multiple limitations to this feature and it's considered unreliable.
We figured out that it's not common to use whole disk as md raid, as well as it's still experimental and works only on 64 bit. So keeping in the backlog to act on in future if anything changes.
We have tried to implement it and without bios boot partition on 64bit it's not always working and is still considered as experimental setup. So rejecting is unless business value of this scenario changes.
