I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 11.04 alongside my Windows Vista 64 system and I'm not seeing the same thing in Ubiquity as I'm seeing in gparted. I have four 1TB disks set up as Intel 1+0.
To get to this point I:
1) shrunk my windows partition
2) booted to the Ubuntu live CD
3) installed kpartx
4) ran gparted and set up an extended partition with ext4 and swap in it
5) ran ubiquity. Since it thinks there are no installed OSes, I chose "something else" over formatting the whole drive.
The problem is that gparted displays the partitions (correctly) as this:
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY1 fat16 DellUtility ...
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY2 ntfs RECOVERY ...
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY3 ntfs OS ...
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY4 extended ...
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY5 ext4 ...
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY67 linux-swap ...
But ubiquity sees my drive like this under "Allocate drive space":
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY-0
/dev/mapper/isq_idhddichd_ARRAY-1
And it shows no information (i.e. type, mount point, format?, size and used are all blank) for either of these. The drop-down box for the boot loader shows that ubiquity sees these as 1TB each, making me think it's seeing two RAID-0 arrays instead of one RAID 1+0 array. And it's not showing the EXT4 partition at all.
Does anyone have any idea what to do at this point?
Thanks,
