Dear all,
As you may know, many Intel motherboards ship with a BIOS fakeraid
(software raid). Presently, Clonezilla doesn't seem to know how to
handle these, apparently due to mdadm being too old: as far as I know,
imsm is supported starting from mdadm V3 and higher. I checked the
ubuntu packages, and came to know that v3 will be shipped in the
upcoming release 11.04 (natty). The present version of mdadm is below 3.
Will Clonezilla support imsm raids by default, and if so, do we need
to CTRL-ALT-F2 and fire-up the RAID first with some command line magic?
When Natty is released as stable, we will use it as the OS of
alternative Clonezilla live. Then you will have mdadm v3 in Clonezilla live.
So far the RAID support in Clonezilla is not well, and hope we can
support it in the near future.
BTW, if you are interested in testing the Natty-based Clonezilla live,
please let me know. We can create one recently.
Some relevant info I found on the web:
http://www.expert.tc/topic.php?id=159833
-> After running
mdadm --assemble --scan
which finds and assembles the container, running
mdadm -I /dev/md/imsm0
assembles the arrays inside the container.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/slackware-13-1-64-bit-with-intel-matrix-storage-manager-807930/
-> a guy struggling to get his RAID working on Slackware, which didn't
include mdadm v3 yet.
Thanks for the valuable info. Appreciate that.
Regards,
Steven.
Kind regards,
