[Bug 542210] Re: /boot destroyed during install even when formatting disabled (alternate installer)
This is likely a cause of bug 191119 and bug 568183 as well. However, those bugs are not dups; in those bugs existing RAID partitions are corrupted, even if they aren't used during the install. Looking at this report, I would guess the RAID partition corruption is because the installer is trying to use that NEW_LABEL command on the incorrectly detected file systems on the devices comprising the RAID array. The root cause of those bugs is those incorrectly detected file systems. See those bugs for details. Until those bugs are fixed, I would VERY STRONGLY not recommend installing on a production system, or even a test system for that matter. Jason and Ben: very well done investigating this. Collin: not-so-well done. -- /boot destroyed during install even when formatting disabled (alternate installer) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 542210] Re: /boot destroyed during install even when formatting disabled (alternate installer)
I don't think that message means the arrays are overlapping, at least for useful definitions of overlapping. It would say this if, for example, md0 and md1 had separate partitions on the same physical disks. This is the case for my configuration, where I have 5 disks each with two partitions (256M and the rest), and /dev/sd[abcde]1 is RAID-1 on md0 and /dev/sd[abcde]2 is RAID-5 on md1. This is a perfectly cromulent (and I think common) configuration that would elicit that message from md. -- /boot destroyed during install even when formatting disabled (alternate installer) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same problem (Ubuntu Lucid Beta 1, alternate installer). I created two RAID1 partitions on two disks, one for boot and one for LVM. Then I formatted the boot RAID parition with ext3. After setting up LVM was done and I completed the parition creation, the installer popped up the following error: The attempt to mount a file system with type ext3 in RAID1 device #0 at /boot failed. -- /boot destroyed during install even when formatting disabled (alternate installer) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
