Public bug reported:
version 10.04
live CD has no raid support
cat /proc/mdstat => nothing folks
alt CD has raid support BUT --- /dev had no MD devices
This all came about because neither LILO or GRUB-INSTALLER will set up
the boot area.
sigh.... I'm about ready to give up on Ubuntu because of the lack of
proper support for software raid.
Problems:
fdisk reports /dev/sdX for IDE drives where most other distros report /dev/hdX
and there is no easy way to see the disk geometry reported by the bios
partitioner insists on using geometry other than that reported by fdisk
grub error when using grub/floppy unknown partition type 0xFD
Ubuntu is about the nicest desktop linux distro I have been able to
find. The lack of viable raid support makes it a non-starter.
