kb-linux,

First, I have to ask if you are installing 7.10. If you're installing 8.X, it could be different. I know there were some changes made to the RAID support in version 8. I haven't upgraded...

Rgotten,

I don't think I can help you with this latest question. There were some hints in this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/120375. But I didn't read it well enough to be able to tell...

I'm not sure I understand your question. But I think this is pretty simple, basic Linux/Unix stuff. The root filesystem is mounted as "/". So if you want to go to the root, cd to /. The root...

Rgotten,

When you "partition" a drive, you slice up the drive into different segments/partitions. For example, when you partition /dev/hda, you end up with /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3, and so...

Rgotten,

This (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/120375) looks like it is exactly the problem you are having. At the end of this very long thread are some workarounds that show a lot of...

Rgotten,

I'm afraid I'm out of great ideas. I tested my system to see that I could boot for other drives by changing the drive in the boot menu. I don't think I tried all five of my drives, but I...

Rgotten,

You do not need to redo the installation. It is okay that you deleted those lines from mdadm.conf. The only reason to comment things out as you go is so you don't lose any previous...

Rgotten,

First, your questions about cleaning up. In the section "Reconfiguration for RAID5", subsection "Create the RAID5 partitions", step 7, I said to comment out the current ARRAY definitions...

Rgotten,

Yes! That's a typo. Nice catch! I edited the original and corrected it.

Rgotten,

Yes, if your are prefacing each command with "sudo", then you are running the commands as root. If you happen to forget it on a command, you will likely get some errors.

If you try the...

Rgotten,

Let me be sure I understand something. From your explanation, my understanding is that you tried some other guides you found on the Internet before you tried the one I created. That is...

Rgotten,

A very quick primer on RAID1 and RAID5, because it's essential to understand how the data is laid out on the disk drives. RAID1 is simply mirroring. It's very simple. Every partition in...

maino,

I must apologize for being slow to respond. I thought I was subscribed to this thread, but I wasn't. I've been busy like everyone else and didn't check back here often enough.

I think...

Thanks for the comments!

Yes, this is definitely for software RAID. On the size of the boot partition, I agree that it could easily be larger. In my case, my server should be very stable and I...

Introduction

This is a step-by-step tutorial/guide for setting up a complete Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) system on RAID5. By this I mean that the root partition (and other system partitions) are...

Thanks for the reply. I took a quick look at the guidelines. I'll read it through when I have a moment. Another quick question: Is there a formatting guide for forum posts, something that outlines...

I have just completed a complete RAID 5 installation of Gutsy Gibbon. I kept a lot of notes and would like to write up the procedure I went through (there's a lot to it) and provide it to the...
