Error Creating Degraded Mirror Mapping For
Notes RAID-1 RAID-5 Installation Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) Previous Releases Troubleshooting: User Contributions Introduction What is fakeRAID? In the last few years, a number of hardware products have come onto the market claiming to be IDE or SATA RAID controllers. These have shown up in a number of desktop/workstation motherboards and lower-end servers such as the HP DL360 G5, if ordered without the optional RAID card. Virtually none of these are true hardware RAID controllers. Instead, they are simply multi-channel disk controllers combined with special BIOS configuration options and software drivers to assist the OS in performing RAID operations. This gives the appearance of a hardware RAID, because the RAID configuration is done using a BIOS setup screen, and the operating system can be booted from the RAID. With the advent of Terabyte disk drives, FakeRAID is becoming a popular option for entry-level small business servers to simply mirror 2 1.5 TB drives, and dispense with an expensive hardware RAID 5 array. Older Windows versions required a driver loaded during the Windows install process for these cards, but that is changing as it has already changed in FreeBSD (which has FakeRAID support built into the ATAPI disk driver). Under Linux, which has built-in softRAID functionality that pre-dates these devices, the hardware is normally seen for what it is -- multiple hard drives and a multi-channel IDE/SATA controller. Hence, fakeRAID. Why not use a linux software raid? If you have arrived here after researching this topic on the Internet, you know that a common response to this question is, "I don't know if you can actually do that, but why bother -- Linux has built-in softRAID capability." Also, it's not clear that there is any pe

I have several external drives of various capacities for temporary data storage. My final objective is to have two mirrored RAID arrays that I can access with both Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows Vista (which I still need for applications that aren't supported by WINE), and I'm trying to find out how to do this. At the moment, the 1.5TB disks are mirrored in the BIOS settings, and I was able to add a blank NTFS partition to the array using GParted. However, I am now unable to mount any of my partitions (other than the Ubuntu one) and cannot use GParted to copy a partition to the RAID array (I get a generic resource in use message, but I have

Fedora never attempts to boot up. I never see anything abour Grub, even though I've told it to install. I've tried installing 4 times now, each time trying different partitioning options, each time telling it to format the partitions. I want rid of Windows XP completely - should I fdisk from DOS first? Can anyone help me here? The two errors listed appear to be RAID errors, but RAID is disabled on my motherboard. Thanks, Megan savage9th September 2007, 03:32 AMHi, welcome to the forums. If it's just anaconda that's crashing, you could try entering 'linux text' at the boot command line off the DVD, this will enable text-mode install and may stop the error occuring. Savage MCoriale9th September 2007, 03:40 AMThe problem is that nothing is crashing. The install completes and the errors occur after I press the "reboot" button. I've tried installing about 4 times since I posted
