Hey guys,
First off, let me say "thank you" for all the information contained here. Just a few short months ago, I embarked on the journey to learn Linux. I have since installed it to multiple systems, gotten wine working with multiple programs, and replaced most of my need for windows with free alternatives. Thank you all.
On to my new problem. Software RAID in 9.10...
I have setup a virtual machine in virtualbox. I created two 8GB virtual hard disks. I boot off 9.10 x64 CD. I launch the live CD and at the desktop I use built in software to setup the two virtual drives as RAID 0. After creating the RAID, I cannot successfully install Ubuntu. I configure three partitions on the RAID, one for filesystem, one for swap, and one for boot. But the install always fails. Any suggestions?
I have searched around and can't seem to find a complete guide, or anything close to complete, for setting up the RAID and installing the OS. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to get this right in a virtual machine before I move on the real hardware.
Thanks,
Jason
