Hi all I have a Ubuntu Dapper system running on a RAID-0 setup. All partitions except /boot are on /dev/md? devices. Since there's no dual boot to worry about, the raid is mdadm managed instead of dmraid.
Now I plan to install Feisty on this system. Since Dapper -> Feisty is an unsupported upgrade path, I have to do a fresh install. So I started the Feisty install with the intention of retaining /home & /share and formatting the rest of the partitions. Unfortunately, when using the manual partition tool in the feisty alternate installer, I got a big warning message saying exisiting raid can't be reused! But then, it still detected the existing RAID layout. I wasn't sure of continuing with the install so I chickened out of the install and started googling but didn't find any useful answers. :-( I could go ahead with the installation and in case /home is overwritten, restore from backup. But if /share is overwritten, that'll be a pain since I don't want to backup 200GB of movies, etc., just for this. Has anyone done such an install over an existing RAID? Any advice would be much appreciated!
