This problem still exists in Gutsy Gibbon. It is, indeed, most frustrating. Even after I manually created and formatted the raid1 partition (ext3), ubiquity still refuses to recognize them. Instead, its partitioner misidentifies both of the mirrors as plain ext3 partitions.
I had to apt-get the mdadm utility. Then I did this: mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0 modprobe raid1 mdadm -v -C /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda7 /dev/sdb7 mke2fs -j /dev/md0 It all worked fine. But it made no difference to ubiquity. The "install" link on the desktop (ubiquity) still refused to recognize the md0 device at the partitioning step. -Dave http://www.burtonsys.com/email/ -- ubiquity does not scan for software RAID (mdadm) devices like /dev/md0 during installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
