I've got a simple solution for this problem: I've build a linux softraid instead the fakeraid from the onboard chip. This brings me a lot of pluses:
1. The PC boots faster because of the missing RAID-Bios-screen 2. The HDDs are working now with AHCI and can use their full performance (NCQ etc) 3. SMART is now working on the Linux-Desktop for each HDD 4. The performance of the Linux-Software-Raid0 is 25% higher (!) then the fakeraid-performance (hdparm, bonnie) 5. The installation with the alternate-cd ist free of failtures! So, use the Linux Softraid! You can only win! -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 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
