Hello, i have been using Ubuntu 10.04 server for about 2 months. I have some knowledge of ubuntu but it is still very limited. I am looking to setup a new server hard drive configuration. And would like a little input on what im trying to do.
What i have is a 60Gig SSD running the OS, I want to put in place 2 2TB harddrives in a Hardware RAID0. Im not concerned at losing data i mainly just want the Raid for performance.
I am using a XFX nForce 680i LT SLI Socket 775 Motherboard, i am aware of how to setup the raid in BIOS, what im not sure about is whats the configuration needed for Ubuntu? Will it automatically pick up the 4TB raid or is there steps i need to take first? I have heard i need to install a alternate Ubuntu installation, is that only if the OS is installed on the RAID? Has anyone used this motherboard or one similar in a RAID with Ubuntu?
Thank you in advanced for any input!
