Users have thought that it's doing nothing and hung... me! I spent several days time cursing at the machine because it couldn't get the RAID setup correctly when all that was wrong were three things:
1. I wasn't familiar with the installer. 2. The set of partitions I have just so happens to be such that the "Guided Install" and "Help" options stay unmoved when I add raid partitions. The "Configure RAID" option is just out of view. If people leave the partition screen before using that option, the next screen is not very helpful, warning you that you have no "/" mount point, etc. If it had mentioned the option that seemed invisible (and they don't mention that you have to scroll up anywhere) it would have saved me at least a day. The screen never jumped, and I never thought to scroll UP. 3. If you get a RAID half-installed, you have to (at least I did) use the live CD, apt-get mdadm, and then umount, stop the raid, and zero the superblocks to get rid of it. I think the installer disk automounts the raid (my guess) because it won't let you delete a RAID successfully once you've rebooted once. It only works while you're setting the RAID up on that boot cycle. -- setting up raid partitions takes very long and installer shows no progress bar for it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
