http://crunchbang.org – Wow!That looks really promising.  I'm at work right now, but I'll give this a shot when I get home.  Thanks for the quick reply, and I'll post back with my successes [or failures]. (HowTos)

Stories similar to New to Linux + UEFI + GPT + Raid 0 Array = :(

After having experienced (again) disk failures with my md/raid5 system, I reinstalled my system (openSuse 11.2) on a new 1 TB drive (raid-less). Now, after having new disks for setting up my md-raid again, I would prefer not to start over again, but to transfer my running system onto these to-be-built md-raid arrays.

Back again with a very quick tip: RAID disk array configuration.

Raid-5 array failure 27 weeks 6 days ago

Hello

This morning we encountered a failure in our Raid-5 array and the server won't boot. Our datacenter told us the array and the disks need to be replaced as they are damaged.

I'm looking for someone who can help me to get some backups out from this server.

New board has UEFI, so I decided not to grow array to new disks, but create new array from start.

We had a storage server with performance starting to be poor. When I installed Linux's smartutils, it found

Device: /dev/sdm, 2 Offline uncorrectable sectors

Since this was a rather large raid6 array ( 23 x 3TB setup ), I set the drive to faulty, and removed it from the array. I shutdown the server, replaced the drive, and powered it back up.

I just finished setting up a RAID5 array with 3 new 1.5TB hard drives using mdadm. I spent the last 5 days trying to get the RAID array working. Everything is up and running now except I have not been able to share folders on this drive using Samba. I can share files in my home directory and on my NTFS drive, but not the RAID array. I am trying to access the shares from a Windows Vista PC.

My understanding of RAID 0 is that the data is split and striped across all of the drives in the array.

I have a raid 5 array constructed of three partitions, one of which is another array. This array should be assembled during boot so that it can be mounted and other services can access the mounted data.

Hi guys,

I have the following problem. I bought a second ssd for my computer and I'm planning to do a RAID-0 array using my motherboard's built-in raid adapter. On that hard drive I have a windows system and some other partitions apart from Ubuntu.
