It seems that whenever I create more than 1 raid1/raid5 set during install, the machine will not boot up correctly. Grub will only assemble on raid device, and it is unable to locate / Error: "Gave up waiting for root device"
Workaround: Start out with only one raid device during install. Put / on this device. Create your other stuff afterwards. I have 3 1.5TB drives in my machine running ubuntu 9.10 server 64-bit I've tried to do this config: fdisk -u -l Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System /dev/sda1 * 128 31457408 15728640+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 31457536 2930277120 1449409792+ fd Linux raid autodetect Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System /dev/sdb1 * 128 31457408 15728640+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 31457536 2930277120 1449409792+ fd Linux raid autodetect Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System /dev/sdc1 128 31457408 15728640+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdc2 31457536 2930277120 1449409792+ fd Linux raid autodetect mdadm --create /dev/md1 --chunk=128 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[ab]1 mdadm --create /dev/md2 --chunk=128 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sd[abc]2 mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E stride=32,stripe-width=32 /dev/md1 pvcreate --metadatasize 250k /dev/md2 vgcreate lvm --physicalextentsize 128M /dev/md2 vgchange -y a # activate LV lvcreate -L8G -nVAR lvm lvcreate -L30G -nHOME lvm lvcreate -L4G -nSWAP lvm lvcreate -L2.6T -NDATA lvm -- system does not boot (karmic server install with RAID1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
