Yeah, I think that's the issue. Should the ls list MD127 as part of the list of devices? How do I get GRUB to do that? Seems like there's a problem with the installer and/or GRUB itself, since I stipulated the RAID in the partition step of the installation. So, in the meantime, how do I get GRU

Public bug reported: I'm using 3@3TB drives, and I would like to setup Ubuntu in a software RAID5 configuration. When I tell the installer to setup the partitions automatically, it gives me 3 partitions. I have tried setting the first partition on each drive to a BIOSGRUB without raid and it f

I tried it one way using BIOS_GRUB as the partition type for the first partition on all 3 drives. That install didn't work. I then tried (following this wiki on the Ubuntu site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID) using a Raid1 configuration for my partitions and mounting

I had an extra hard drive, so I loaded up Ubuntu 11.04 (not server), and booted from that drive to produce this results.txt from the BASH script. You'll see another harddrive listed outside of the Raid5, and this is the harddrive loaded with Ubuntu. When I installed 11.04 server, I removed this dr
