I successfully installed raid 1 on an Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 64-bit machine according to Martiis intructions:
http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/raid.html The only thing missing in Martiis instructions was sudo update-initramfs -u (thx to Alexander) after inserting Kens lines # The following code was added to allow degraded RAID arrays to start if [ ! -e "${ROOT}" ] || ! /lib/udev/vol_id "${ROOT}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then # Try mdadm and allow degraded arrays to start in case a drive has failed log_begin_msg "Attempting to start RAID arrays and allow degraded arrays" /sbin/mdadm --assemble --scan log_end_msg fi into /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local script just before the comment "# We've given up, but we'll let the user fix matters if they can" as described in Kens posting. -- cannot boot raid1 with only one disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120375 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
