Brian Murray, yes I know its about the gnome-disk-utility, and that is where I get the problem. Whilst the alternative install doesn't have a GUI, what on earth has that to do with this error? I was using the Disk Utility post install of the OS. -- You received this bug notification because you

Jason this bug is about gnome-disk-utility, a GUI application for managing disks, not have having a dependency on mdadm so that one can create RAID arrays. The alternate installer doesn't have a GUI and doesn't include gnome-disk-utility so I'm fairly certain this isn't your bug. The alternate in

I have this problem after doing an install from the alternative CD 11.10 so it'snot just isolated to the live CD. mdadm may well have been removed for speed reasons, but then Disk Utility needs to fail gracefully and not as it does show that mdadm completed successfully. Please don't be fooled th

My live system froze after reporting the 'mdadm not found' error. This happened twice. The first time, it happened before I was able to read the error message. The second time, it froze as I was scrolling the error message in to view. This issue deserves some attention. -- RAID creation fails

While most people who are trying to create a RAID array are probably perfectly capable of figuring out the problem, it's just the usability is terrible and reflects poorly on the program. It would seem reasonable for the program to validate that the user has the necessary has software installed (i

ok, so install mdadm : sudo apt-get install mdadm BTW, if you have started using the Palimpsest Disk Utility, your disks may already have been partitioned for the RAID. If so, you can't use Palimpsest to remove the partitions. Use Gparted to clean up the mess and remove any partition. Then go b

We deliberately removed mdadm from the default installation several releases ago; it makes the boot process slower and more complex, and for most people without RAID arrays it's just a waste of disk space. Of course, it's installed if you have a RAID array available during installation. The deskt

After further investigation, it appears as though this affects the Live CD only. The alternate install works perfectly with RAID array creation even when Ubuntu is installed. It appears as though the Live CD does not officially support software RAID array creation, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/com
