Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I am parting 4 1tb disks,<BR>
the schema is the following<BR>
<BR>
1gb of each as raid 1 bootable mounted on /boot<BR>
<BR>
the rest as raid 10 for the other mount points,<BR>
<BR>
now, <BR>
this is how I am doing it,<BR>
<BR>
I fire up the installer, ubuntu lts 804<BR>
and set up the two partitions on each disk<BR>
<BR>
then I use the installer to create the first raid, the raid 1 on the 4 1gb partitions for boot,<BR>
<BR>
then I go to other terminal alt-f2<BR>
and issue<BR>
madamd --create /dev/md1 --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda2 /dev/sb2 /dev/sdbc2 /ev/sdd2 <BR>
and md1 is started<BR>
<BR>
then I go back to alt-f1<BR>
and I see the two RAIDS, the 1 and the 10<BR>
and I issue all the partition stuff,<BR>
<BR>
when I hit write the stuff to the disks,<BR>
it fails saying that it the devices md0p1 and so on can't be find<BR>
<BR>
so how on earth you get to partition the disks before installing?<BR>
<BR>
