Hi guys,

I'm installing Ubuntu on a DL180 G5, configured RAID5 over 3 drives. 3 X 500GB to leave 1Tb physical storage.

Ubuntu sees the logical side, and allows me to start a guided installation on the 'entire' 1Tb.

Should this take a LONG time? It's currently stuck on 33% creating ext3 partitions

Creating ext3 filesystem for / in partition #1 of SCSI.CCISS (-,0,0) (cciss/c0d0).

If I run dmesg I see :

Adding 10634988k Swap on /dev/cciss/c0d0p5

It's been on this line for quite some time, am I wasting my time sitting here or should I continue to be patient?

Update :

Problem solved, I just had to be more patient.

Took approx an hour and 20 minutes
