Howto install "18" on RAID0->LVM->ext4->root FS??

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I have preexistent storage layout: RAID0 with LVM volume inside. A kind of incapsulation: HDDx2 -> RAID0 -> LVM volume -> ext4 partition -> root filesystem mount point. Is there any way to install Fedora 18 using such a layout? It is great, if there is any opportunity to install using already created (by my own script) partitioning and not to create the partitions with the help of Anaconda. (HowTos)

I have been trying to reassemble a RAID0 that I set up a while ago.

I have several partitions on my hard drive, and like to use the 'Create Custom Layout' option during the installation process, to make sure that I don't loose any of my existing partitions or the data on them.

I have attempted a minimal F12 installation from Fedora 12 DVD. But the 'Create Custom Layout' option is not an option in the menu.

please someone help me....

(Sorry for my english)

Hi, I have a Pc with 2 Hd (1Tb each) on Raid0.

Hello,

I am using Fedora 8 for my server and have a software RAID consisting of RAID0 of two drives for storage and a RAID1 configuration for the OS. In order to upgrade to 11 (or 12) I have to reinstall Fedora. I only care about keeping the data on the RAID0, so will the data on my software RAID0 be lost if I reinstall a new version of Fedora?

Thank you

I need some related information on the following lines I found in an answer: "A logical partition is a container for a filesystem (or an LVM volume or some swap space or a BSD partition or other kind of volume that isn't a PC-style partition)."

I want to create one extended partition in which I will keep all Xubuntu related boot var root home...

Hello everyone,

First post here, pretty new to linux. I've just tried installing Ubuntu 11.04 via wubi and I got the "No root filesystem defined" error. I have a Vaio Z which has dual 64gb SSD's in raid0. I have been trying to look up a solution, but have found the solutions either not relevant to my case or not very clear. I'd love for someone to walk me through a fix.

I currently have Windows installed on a 2x500GB RAID0, with 300GB unallocated space for Arch.However, the Arch Live CD doesn't recognise the RAID0 for whatever reason.

On my Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit installation, I had built a raid0 consisting of 2x 320 GB Hitachi Deskstar drives using the Disk Utility. Because my ubuntu install got messed up, I reinstalled Ubuntu same version.

Now when I go to the Disk Utility, I can see that Ubuntu sees those drives as being part of a raid. Please see screenshots for information displayed.

I checked in GParted.

I will be setting up KVM guests on a computer of mine soon. I plan to run Ubuntu 12.04.1 on the host. But I can switch to Fedora 17 if necessary (comfortable with both RH and Debian types of distros). I plan to use the following layout for KVM guests:

host: SSD + LVM + ext4 guests: LVM + ext4; each guest gets a LVM logical volume from the host

So, the LVM is nested in this scenario.
