I have a server with 7 drives. two are 4TB, two are 2TB, and three are 1TB. I am attempting to install a new Ubuntu installation. I want to use one of the 1TB drives as my boot drive (I plan to replace it with a SSD to improve performance, just testing with it right now). I then want to create a 7TB RAID1 system with the remaining drives. I'd even settle with just a 4TB RAID1 system with the two 4TB drives.
When installing Ubuntu I did the manual partition configuration. I created a RAID1 set-up with 2 active drives and 0 spares. I selected my two 4TB drives as the active drives. I then created a LVM using one of the 1TB drives. I set the 1TB as bootable and the /root drive.
When booting into the system, I can't see the RAID drives. It seems like I only have 1TB.
bphillips@HTPC:~$ df -hFilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/BOOT-BOOT 909G 1.3G 862G 1% /
udev 3.9G 4.0K 3.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.6G 428K 1.6G 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /run/shm
Are my RAID drives there? If so, how do I see them and access them?
My intended use for the server is to make a HTPC using Kodi.
