Good evening,
Here is my dilemma:
Attempting to install Ubuntu Server 11.04 on RAID 5 configuration
Unsure of which partitions to select as "active devices" (Requests 3 partitions for RAID 5)
Fairly new to the Linux/UNIX environment, presently taking introductory course at a local college
The following is the dialogue I am being presented with:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!!] Partition Disks
You have chosen to create a RAID 5 array with 3 active devices.
Please choose which partitions are active devices. You must select exactly 3 partitions.
Active devices for the RAID 5 array:
[ ] /dev/sda1 (495820MB)
[ ] /dev/sda5 (4284MB)
[ ] /dev/sdb1 (495820MB)
[ ] /dev/sdb5 (4284MB)
[ ] /dev/sdc1 (495820MB; ext4)
[ ] /dev/sdc5 (4284MB; swap)

This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. Select a partition to modify it's settings (file system, mount point, etc.), a free space to create partitions, or a device to initialize its partition table.
Guided partitioning
Configure software RAID
Configure the Logical Volume Manager
Configure encrypted volumes
Configure iSCSI volumes

Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

Presently, I am following the Advanced Installation Guide for Ubuntu 11.04 Server on the Ubuntu website (https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/server...tallation.html (https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html)), however am still unsure of the steps I must follow to successfully install Ubuntu Server.
