Hi,
First off all im a newbie in Ubuntu and second im not native englisch...so excuse me for dum questions and bad language :)
I'm traying to install UBUNTU server on an raid 1 machine.
With the help of FakeRaidEdgy Wiki it starts all real fine.
But....
When i have to re-partions my drives (i dont mind to loose data since this a test server) it have te option to partition my 80 GB mirror dive...that seems fine...but i can't choose the guided option so i do it manualy.
So..i can partion 79.9 GB FREE SPACE.
If i do so i can choose Automaticlly partion the free space.
When i choose this option im getting the error
" Failed to partion the selected disk.
This probably happenend because there are too many (primary) partions in the partion table "
It makes 1 88.4 GB f ext3 / partition and 1.5 GB unusable.
So...is delete the partion an go for manual..
It asks me for the new partion size...
Lest say is choose 10 GB
It asks me the location for the new partion . I choose Beginning
Mount point becomes /
So i'm done.
I see an overvieuw 10 GB f ext3 /
And 69.9 GB unusable/
Thats not what i want i want a / /home /usr etc....
Now i have a problem i dont know how to create more "directorys" in an unusable space.
What to do ?
