Seriously guys?  As the original reporter of this bug, I'd like to state
that thus far Phillip Susi is the only one who has offered ANY
assistance in getting this resolved.  I think our frustration with this
bug has been duly noted, so now it's time to concentrate on a fix and
helping Phillip.  Please refrain from attacking the one guy who is
actually trying to help as I'm sure that is no motivation for him to
work on this bug at all.  For all we know he may not even be getting
paid for this and may be giving his assistance on a completely voluntary
basis in the spirit of open source.  Let's be constructive guys!

2010-05-06 Thread David Tomlin
This is a very serious bug, and again I'm not bashing Ubuntu.  Let me
make that clear.  I LOVE UBUNTU!!!  But this bug is beyond ridiculous.
I think they should follow the path PCLinux OS just did.  They had major
bugs in the original release a few weeks ago, and just issued a new
point release with fresh ISOs to resolve the issues.

I also really wish this bug would get "Assigned" to someone.  The status
is still "Unassigned" and it was reported on 4/20.

Good find Nathaniel.  Unfortunately, I think either Ubiquity or Partman
are just really "broken" in the 10.04 release.  If you do a google
search for Ubuntu 10.04 raid you'll find people having trouble with both
fakeraid and software raid.

[Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid

2010-05-01 Thread David Tomlin
Well guys, I got this to work a somewhat different way as I'm using
Ubuntu Server.  If you can get your hands on a 9.10 server cd, use it to
start an install.  Once you get to the part where it detects your raid,
activate it, and setup your partitions however you like, and then apply
your changes.  Unlike the red screen you get with the message (can't
create a filesystem) in 10.04, 9.10 will successfully create your
partitions.  After your disk has been partitioned and formatted, stop
the 9.10 install.

Now reboot, and start the install with the 10.04 server cd.  Again, once
you get to the part where it detects your raid, activate it.  You'll see
the partitions you created before.  Reassign their mount points, and
format them again if you like.  After I did this my install of 10.04 was
successful using my fakeraid.  However, the installer didn't install
grub on my second hard drive.  This was a simple fix by simply issuing
the command sudo grub-install /dev/sdb for my particular setup.  I hope
this helps someone who's trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.04 on a
fakeraid setup.

I did test by powering the machine off and removing power to one hard
drive and then the other to verify it would boot to both, and it was
successful.

likely be released in an upcoming major update?

2010-04-30 Thread David Tomlin
Hey Phillip.  Thanks so much for your help on this, and I will
definitely try the workaround.  Just one comment though, and please know
this is not directly aimed at you Phillip as you've been nothing but
helpful, but rather Ubuntu as a whole.  As stated above, CentOS, Fedora,
and OpenSuse all installed on my fakeraid out of the box with no
workarounds, and while I honestly feel neither of those distributions
can even somewhat compare to Ubuntu, it seems that Ubuntu is
shortchanging users when it comes to fakeraid.  In other words, if after
the last 3 current distributions we are still having to use workarounds
with fakeraid, does that mean it's going to always be that way?  I may
be wrong, but I don't think fakeraid has ever worked out of the box in
Ubuntu.  Is this just not a big enough priority for Ubuntu?  And as for
people who are using fakeraid and may be willing to change from Windows
to Ubuntu, I would imaging the first time they discover they can't dual
boot with Windows and Ubuntu without what might be a difficult
workaround for them to implement depending on their knowledge of linux,
they may just give up and go to another distribution which in the end
hurts Canonical.

Another thing to note is that the version of CentOS i tried was released
in 2007, and still successfully detected and installed on the array.
It's hard to swallow that in 2010 Ubuntu still hasn't gotten there.

If this was an old or outdated technology, I could almost understand,
but you can hardly find a current motherboard now that doesn't implement
fakeraid, and regardless of whether linux software raid is better than
fakeraid, fakeraid has its merits too, and I'm sure is used very often
as it can be setup much quicker than linux software raid.

That's just my 2 cents, but again I appreciate everything you're doing
to try and help us with this.  Thanks.

Just tried to install using the latest daily build (4/27) and got the
same result.  I've tried on 2 different machines each with a different
fakeraid controller.  As usual Ubuntu detects both controllers and the
fakeraid set on each, but fails during the format procedure stating it
can't "Failed to create a file system".  I'm surprised the LTS version
will be released without working support for fakeraid.

[Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid

2010-04-22 Thread David Tomlin
I also get the exact same behavior with the onboard raid controller on a
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H motherboard using the exact same steps as above.

I also tried other distributions to verify it wasn't hardware and both
OpenSuse and CentOS detected and installed succesfully, so it's
definitley not hardware related.

Thanks so much for your input on this.

[Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid

2010-04-22 Thread David Tomlin
No luck with the release candidate.  I'm not doing anything special.  I
create my "fakeraid" set with the SIL 3124 controller, then I boot to
the Ubuntu Server 10.04 cd.  I select all the default options until it
get to Detect Disks.  It successfully detects my RAID 1 and asks if I'd
like to activate it.  I select yes and am then presented with my 250GB
RAID 1 set.  I select Guided Partioning and tell it to use the entire
disk (no lvm or encryption).  It then creates a default partition scheme
with just root and swap.  I select "Finish partitioning and write
changes to disk".  I'm then asked to confirm the changes to the disk.
Once I select yes, I get a red screen with an error message stating
"Failed to create a filesystem.  The ext4 file system creation in
partition #1 of Serial ATA RAID sil_bgaebjaafgbg (mirror) failed"

[Bug 568050] [NEW] Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid

2010-04-21 Thread David Tomlin
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dmraid

Fresh install of Ubuntu Server 10.04 Beta 2 using Sil 3124 fakeraid
controller card.  Ubuntu install successfully detects fakeraid set
(Raid1) and activates it, but after creating my partition layout using
all default options with "Guided Partitioning", when I try to apply it,
it fails stating it could not mount the root partition to format it.

** Affects: dmraid (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: New

[Bug 447725] Re: grub nice 'recordfail' feature doesn't work for hibernation

2009-11-27 Thread David Tomlin
Just out of curiosity, did you happen to edit your /etc/init.d/rc file
and change concurrency=none to concurrency=shell?  I did this because it
supposedly helps ubuntu boot faster by spreading the boot scripts across
two cores if you have a dual core processor.  I had it set for weeks
before I experienced the behaviour of ubuntu 9.10 stopping at the grub
boot screen.  Once the behaviour showed itself, I edited
/boot/grub/grubenv to recordfail=0 manually only to have it reset back
to recordfail=1 after a reboot just like you said.  Once I edited
/etc/init.d/rc and set the concurrency value back to "=none" just on a
whim, and manually changed /boot/grub/grubenv manually again to
recordfail=0, I didn't have anymore issues.

Dave
