I am running Mint 9 using the post from Konstantinos on May 16 from this
thread. I imagine this is mostly relevant to Ubuntu 10.4 as well. For
the most part, it seems to work fine. However there are two things that
are odd. When I get to the end of the install procedure where I run
these commands:

grub-install /dev/mapper/isw_jfighfbah_My_RAID
update-grub

I get about 5 warnings of a memory leak from the install command and
about 10 more from the update. This sounds similar to what Martin Lucich
reported on 5/12. But it does reboot afterwards without issue. The
second thing which seemed odd is when I went to install my Xilinx
software. I'm installing to /opt/Xilinx which has about 170GB free based
on right clicking the folder and looking at its properties. However, the
Xilinx installer says I have insufficient disc space (it shows 0 GB
free). What's funny is that it asks if I want to install anyway. I say
yes, and the software works afterwards. This software does see my drives
correctly under OpenSuse11.2 using the same partition setup.

So while there are workarounds to get this OS usable, there are still
some lingering issues related to the handling of the fake raid arrays.
For the record, I am using two 1TB drives under Intel Matrix Raid
(ICH10R). The first 100GB of each drive is striped and used for / and
swap, the other 900GB from each drive is mirrored and mounted as /home.
All partitions except swap are ext4.

I'm still pretty new to Linux in general, but I'm willing to help test
and get this resolved.

Thanks for your help,
Dale
