Q: Lion on MacMini server fails on mirrored drives
Hello
last year I bought an MacMini server (10.6). Which I installed with mirrored harddrives (2 partitions, one partition for OS and one for the ServiceData).
Everything worked fine.
Upgrading to Lion messed up the whole system so i decided to start from scratch.
I formated the mirrored boot volume and inserted a bootable Lion USB stick.
Then I selected the fresh formated volume.
The installation process then copies everything onto the named partition and reboots the machine.
After waiting in front of the machine for 20-30 mins a windows pops up telling me that it cannot install the ecovery partition.
So my questions are:
1) Does anyone know how to prevent the attempt to install a recovery partition
2) Is it possible to install immediatly Lion server insead of making 2 steps ?
3) Is it possible to have under lion again a seperate ServiceData partition from the beginning instead of having the time consuming task in moving everything by hand after installation ?
Thx
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
