I have a motherboard with an Intel ICH9R RAID chip. I have an existing RAID 5 setup over three disks which is NTFS formatted. I'm dual booting and I'd like to be able to access the RAID device in both Linux and Windows (and possibly OSX86, if I can ever get the darn thing to work).
Hey Ubuntu Forums, long time no see.
So i'm trying to set up a RAID, but i'm a bit inexperienced and i'm not sure if the configuration i want to achieve is possible. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could point me in the right direction.
I have one 2TB and two 1TB drives that i would like to configure in such a way that would be equivalent to two 2TB drives in RAID0.
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'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
Before my installation of 12.04 server I read a lot on the forum about raid install and problems with Grub not being able to boot from anything other than a raid 1 array. However I had no problem at all with installation on a raid 6 array (5 disks) using mdadm.
What I did using Alternate 12.04 CD:
1. Choose Manual partion
2. Wipe all 5 drives
3. Assign all drives to a Raid 6 array
4.
I have three drives (sda, sdb and sdc) which are partitioned into two partitions each set to "raid linux autodetect". The first partition is used for a RAID 0, the second partition for a RAID 1 on LVM.
For some reason sdc1 drops out of the RAID 0 and can only be re-added after a reboot. sdc2 stays in its RAID 1 though.
So I created a RAID device (RAID5 with 4 drives) on Ubuntu 10.04. I did an upgrade to 12.04 but failed and the system won't boot correctly anymore. I am thinking about to do a clean installation of Ubuntu 12.04, but how do I use the existing RAID device and make sure the data on it are intact?
Hey I am just looking to set up my family's new computer over this holiday season and I am curious if anyone has some advice on how to setup a 'fake-raid' (raid using the integrated 'raid' feature of a motherboard) to work with both Ubuntu and Windows on a dual-boot machine.
I have a desktop with a hardware RAID built into the motherboard, (possibly called a FakeRAID, according to some research I have done.)
It was setup as a RAID 5, under Ubuntu 11.04, I attempted to upgrade to 11.10, and just ran into a hell storm of issues.
I decided to just unplug the 4 hard drives as part of RAID 5, and re-install Ubuntu 11.10 on a standalone IDE hard drive.
Now that I h
