Public bug reported:
Observations:
- RAID is no longer only of interest to Server users
- It appears that a number of users would like to use RAID on desktop machines
(see also previous bug reports on missing RAID)
- Forums, web sites, tutorials about RAID with Ubuntu Desktop seems to consist
to a large part of explanations, how to get actually get mdadm
- Getting mdadm onto an Ubuntu machine without Internet connection during
installation appears to be a bit tedious
Since the RAID feature issue has been open for some time, and there seem
to be lack of resource to address it, may I propose breaking down the
task as follows:
Step/Phase 1: Inclusion of mdadm in Ubuntu Desktop releases (same as for Ubuntu
Server)
This would allow users to boot a Live CD and use CLI to manually
set-up/configure RAID, and then run Ubiquity installation
Result: Including mdadm would get rid of the apt install step and the
requirement for Internet connection, while and also simplify
documentation/tutorials for workaround(s)
Target date: Maybe 21.04 release
Step/Phase 2: Add a CLI to Ubiquity (e.g. could show up when selecting manual
disk partitioning)
This would allow users to manually set-up/configure RAID from within Ubiquity
Result: The user would not need to boot a Live CD evaluation before running
Ubiquity
Target date: Maybe 21.10 release
Step/Phase 3: Include RAID support in Ubiquity
Full RAID support in Ubiquity, which would probably make use of mdadm.
Result: RAID Feature as requested by several users over several years
Target date: Maybe 22.04 release
