[Bug 351473] Re: Side-by-Side option only chooses one disk

[Colin Watson]

I gave some brief implementation advice in bug 1262824, but it would be
more useful reproduced here rather than in a duplicate bug:

Yes, the underlying resize_use_free implementation in partman-auto has
only ever supported selecting a single disk. To fix this, it would be
necessary to refactor it to work something like some_device (so the
choices script would only check that it can work at all, while the
do_option script would offer a selection of the relevant disks), and
then ensure that ubiquity still works with the amended flow.

** Summary changed:

- [jaunty] Side-by-Side option only chooses one disk
+ Side-by-Side option only chooses one disk

** Changed in: partman-auto (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Low => High

Title:
  Side-by-Side option only chooses one disk

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I have tried to install Jaunty Beta in a Virtualbox machine with 3
  HDs:

  1) Master (containing jaunty alpha6)
  2) Primary Slave (containing a hardy installation)
  3) Secondary Slave (containing an intrepid installation)

  When using the side-by-side option, it is only possible to choose the
  3rd hard disk (secondary slave)
