I thought I made it clear I was using software RAID; sorry if it wasn't clear. > If you're using real hardware raid, I suppose it wouldn't be > /dev/md0, haven't got much experience with this, others might pitch > in. > > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID > > Take a look at this page, it's pretty simple and you need the > alternate install CD. I'd found that page, that's where I got the understanding I could do it with the alternate install CD. But then I found the bug mentioned in my last post. I did finally get Software RAID to work with individual partitions: First I created both hard disks entirely as single RAID partitions each. Then I created a RAID partition using both whole drives. Then I ran LVM to create separate LVM partitions. A lot of work but it worked. Ubuntu is still driving me crazy; will post more as I understand more, but first: how come the alternate install uses LILO? Can I convert to Grub? I'd try except that I'll have to learn how to run grub on LVMs first. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
