I still think /arch/setup *should* generate this file itself if it detects software raids in use for the target. The wiki even seems to suggest, that it does.
Could some releng shine light on this, please?
I completely agree. The Wiki suggests that it's as simple as self generating if I follow the steps and it clearly is not. I became so frustrated I almost abandoned Arch. I hope this gets fixed in a soon future release of Arch.
AIF has no support for softraid. It does make sure menu.lst, fstab etc are updated automagically but only for dm_crypt/lvm/"normal" setups. If the official installation guide states otherwise, we should fix that. please point me to the mistake/file a ticket. If community-maintained documentation is incorrect, fix it yourself. Patches to support softraid are always welcome. Things don't get improved by merely hoping for it. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14149 Dieter
