In Linux, I'm partitioning two disks for RAID1 with fdisk. The first disk partitioning succedes, but the second fail because the raid starts automatically and occupy also the second disk (why? it should have a different UUID).
How to temporary disable RAID autodetect?
I know Linux has great capabilities over the years of using it but I can't seem to find an exact name or setup for this scenario. I want to do Matrix RAID (that is not the correct general name but it was as close as I got) on two HDD. I want to put the OS in RAID 1 for redundancy and then have another partition or folder as RAID 0 for TV recordings both on two HDD.
I have setup Raid 1 & Raid 10 in Virtual Box for learning purpose.
The following Partitions for 4 Hard Drives:
I make a 100mb partition (/boot) on four drives and make that a raid 1 partition.
Then with the remaining space on each drive, I've setup software raid 10 and configure it to LVM. In the LVM I setup a 4gb swap partition and 20GB for root partition (/) as ext4.
I am using this tutorial:

Unfortunately the above tutorial is outdated for Ubuntu 12.04. It was written for 10.04.
Ubuntu 12.04 after a regular installation has 3 partitions: The main one, a swap partition, and an extended one.
I have a 5-disk Intel RAID 5 along with a 6th boot disk with /, /boot, and swap.
What I was planning to do was mount the Intel RAID partitions (which I've added with fdisk) so that the 6th disk /home, /var, /srv, etc. link to the RAID on the other 5 disks.
I used a Software-RAID I and want to access the data without RAID now.
Hello,
I do have a hardwarw RAID from Highpoint which allows online expansion of the RAID. I used to have a 3x1TB RAID5 resulting in 2TB net data. This disk did use a traditional MBR partition table.
Hi all,
I have three 1 TB drives on my Ubuntu machine that I was using in a RAID 5 array. I had 50 GB on each that I arranged in a logical partition that I used for the base installation. The other 950 GB I used for the RAID 5 array. Sadly, I managed to format the section that had the base installation. Silly me.
Now I want to get the data off the raid piece.
I'm trying to migrate the drive containing /home to a raid 1, and I've found so many incomplete and wildly divergent instructions I'm not sure where to start, other than spending the next 6 months studying raid and playing around in VBox.
Right now, I have a 3 harddrives.
sda (160GB) with / at sda1, plus a swap partition.
sdb (1TB) for /home at sdb1 (only partition on drive)
sdc (1TB) not in u
