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)
