Re: Making sure to partition the right disk(s)

Wonderful!
I'll wait for 6.2 to be out, then.
For now, the use of explicit device path can be enough, but being able 
to tell it to "select the 2 small disks and create a RAID1" is surely 
way better (and handles disk replacement w/o reconfiguration).

PS: looking at the source, I noticed that a partition labeled "MY-DATA" 
is automatically mounted to /media/data . Does it work only for boots 
from CD or also from network? It could be useful to store machine's 
static data (SSH server key, just to say one)...
