Colin Watson and Tormod Volden : This can be enabled in karmic since we now have grub2 which support direct raid boot. Making it possible to install ubuntu on raid requires very little changes now :
1. Install mdadm by default into the livecd environment. (676 Kb) 2. Patch ubiquity to run these commands in the /target chroot AFTER raid has been partitioned and ubuntu has been installed to make / accessible from initramfs by updating mdadm.conf : chroot /target /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf chroot /target update-initramfs -u With these two small changes, it's possible for a user that knows how to partition and raid from command line to install ubuntu on his raid device from ubiquity, using manual partitioning. I tried it and it work perfectly. And it's the first step to make raid accessible from LiveCD. And since grub2, it's not necessary for partman to make sure that /boot is installed on a different partition. Left to implement later : Ubiquity to manage and offer RAID during installation (looks like Palimpsest is already starting to offer functionalities related to raid, which are limited at the moment). -- RAID not implemented (use alternate CD instead) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44609 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
