| # Once the base OS is installed, the machine reboots; the admin then logs in as root using | |
| # a known password defined in the preseed, changes the password, and then runs partman.sh | |
| # to start the final configuration process. | |
| # | |
| # If there were such a thing as the Hack of the Year award, this config script would have | |
| # been a contender. Since drive SDA is in use, we can’t effectively release it for | |
| # partitioning until we reboot using the other drive. We’ve already created our LVM setup | |
| # using the preseed; this script: | |
| # | |
| # 1. creates broken software RAID mirrors using only the partitions in SDB (creating md0 | |
| # and md1 as RAID devices), | |
| # 2. migrates the data in /boot from sda1 to md0, | |
| # 3. initializes md1 as a physical volume for LVM, | |
| # 4. migrates the physical extents from PV sda2 to PV md1, | |
| # 5. removes PV sda2 from the volume group, | |
| # 6. removes references to sda in fstab, | |
| # 7. runs the bootloader to rebuild the initrd with the software RAID module, and | |
| # 8. reboots to fully release sda. | |
| # | |
| # Remember, this was all to get around the fact that you can’t create LVM-on-software-RAID | |
| # using a preseed. | |
