Dear all,
As you may know, many Intel motherboards ship with a BIOS fakeraid
(software raid). Presently, Clonezilla doesn't seem to know how to handle
these, apparently due to mdadm being too old: as far as I know, imsm is
supported starting from mdadm V3 and higher. I checked the ubuntu
packages, and came to know that v3 will be shipped in the upcoming release
11.04 (natty). The present version of mdadm is below 3.
Will Clonezilla support imsm raids by default, and if so, do we need to
CTRL-ALT-F2 and fire-up the RAID first with some command line magic?
Some relevant info I found on the web:
http://www.expert.tc/topic.php?id=159833
-> After running
mdadm --assemble --scan
which finds and assembles the container, running
mdadm -I /dev/md/imsm0
assembles the arrays inside the container.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/slackware-13-1-64-bit-with-intel-matrix-storage-manager-807930/
-> a guy struggling to get his RAID working on Slackware, which didn't
include mdadm v3 yet.
Kind regards,
Jürgen Depicker
