A very easy 75% solution would be to make the partitioner simply look for multiple hard disk drives (or partitions with with type = 0xFD), and if they are seen then display a warning message:
*** Warning: This installer cannot install Ubuntu on a RAID partition. If you wish to install to a RAID partition (such as RAID1/mirrored), please shutdown/restart, and then at the boot-up menu select either "Text-mode install" or "Install Ubuntu server." Obviously it would be better to fix it. But telling users how to work around the problem would be very simple to implement, and it would change the extreme frustration that this problem causes into a minor annoyance. (Note: those quoted menu choices in my suggested warning message need to be double-checked, as they are from my very fallible memory.) -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
