To make it clear we have multiple bugs which effects all Ubuntu Version installing Fakeraid. The first is that you can not create pratition ( end up with red screen) The second is that you can not install grub2. The third nobody test so far comes up if you use mdadm Grub2 is only installed on one disk meanwhile installation and you can not add a grub2 manually to the second disk. You will faile by a error which sounds: Installing grub2 to a partition is not a good idea only if you have a raid array -- installation fails (sorry just a rough translation i installed in German language.
This means for 10.04 Lucid Lynx there is no redudant system possible out of the box. I strongly suggest taking the server version offline and move it back to testing cause it is a real dangerous for running a 10.04 Server system. The last bug means that if your second drive fails you have to go to your hosting company if you do not have a remote card installed! This shoud be written in the documantation and not that fakeraid is supported. That is lie! What we all need are fixed 10.04 CD´s which includes Phllips patch and several grub2 patches especially writing boot sector to the second disk. At the end i have to say i am very disapointed that there is obviosly no testing at HP! It was so big in all newspapers that Canonical works now together with HP espacially SERVER. I am sure they never insert a Beta to their Raid 1 machines at HP! This is a relationship just for Canonical for promotion. There is no Ubuntu testing at HP labs for sure! As administrator i just can say using Debian or Redhat is save. I will use Ubuntu just for Desktop Computers after this experience. This also shows a lot about HP. I do not want to buy Servers for a few hundred tousend dollars from a company which does not test there certified LTS Server Version - ... no thank you i will not bring a company with such a behaviour in contact with my cusomers! -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 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
