Small update. I have installed a 3rd drive to try another option. All 3 exactly the same, 3 x 2TB.
1st drive in standard mode Drives 2 and 3 in RAID0, splitted in 2 x 2TB folders Installation is going weel, GRUB installed on the first disk. While it's installating, from alt-f2 I looked at the dev folder and I'm able to see the Volume0px files. After restart. grub is staring correctly, but it's not able to mount the RAID drives, and from the shell I now see only: # ll /dev/mapper/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 fév 10 15:57 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 3,4K fév 10 16:00 .. crw------T 1 root root 10, 236 fév 10 15:57 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 fév 10 15:57 isw_bchjifacf_Volume0 The Volume0px files are not there anymore. But parted can see still them: # parted /dev/mapper/isw_bchjifacf_Volume0 GNU Parted 2.3 Using /dev/mapper/isw_bchjifacf_Volume0 Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Model: Linux device-mapper (striped) (dm) Disk /dev/mapper/isw_bchjifacf_Volume0: 4001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 262kB 2000GB 2000GB ext4 2 2000GB 4001GB 2001GB ext4 (parted) # lsmod | grep raid is not returning anything. So I tried to activate some of them. So trying to activate some mods just in case: # modprobe raid0 # modprobe dm-raid But still nothing in the mapper directory... # ls /dev/mapper/ control isw_bchjifacf_Volume0 I will try to remove everything again from the RAID and created it back from scrach with gparted... But the goal is to be able to boot from it... 2013/2/10, Jean-Marc Spaggiari <jean-m...@spaggiari.org>: > Hi, > > I'm trying for the 2 last days to install a Debian Wheezy on a RAID0 > drive but I'm facing many issues. > > I have 2 x 2TB drives configured in a 4TB RAID0 drive. > > I initially used the b3 net installer but it was missing the grub bios > partition. > > Now, I'm using B4, starting it with dmraid=true.
