SAB, I don't know about a respin of the installer CD, but I was able to get it to work off the existing installer CD by: 1. Boot into the Live CD. 2. Get a network connection. 3. "sudo apt-get update" 4. "sudo apt-get install libparted0" 5. Start installer. Install worked fine for me after this point.

This should be filed as a separate bug against the installer ( if one
does not already exist ) rather than attached to this one. The
installer has always assumed it should install grub to sda so you have
always had to manually tell it to install to the raid device instead.
That issue is really unrelated to this one.

OK, seems that there is an additional grub problem then. Can you
please add a grub task ("Also affects distribution...") and attach the
install log?
It seems the parted side of the fix worked, so I mark this as
verified. While it doesn't fix the complete install, it at least gets
a step further.
Thanks, Martin

Re: [Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid
This is getting off topic Michael, but fakeraid support is only useful for dual boot compatibility with Windows. It is not well supported, and does not properly handle fault tolerance on any distribution. If you are building a server or otherwise do not dual boot with Windows, you should be using conventional Linux mdadm software raid, which is well tested and supported. -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If it works out and gets uploaded as an SRU, it will not replace the version installed from my PPA since I forgot to set the version number to ~something, so they will have the same version number.

Re: [Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid
You keep /var/log separate because if your log files ever get to large it doesn't overfill your root partition which would then stop you from booting. I'm using /boot to help speed things up and make sure that boot files stay at the front of the logical disk. Giving /var/log is not unusual. It's a best practices for many server installs. Some people give it it to just /var but I prefer /var/log as I've never seen anything outside of /var/log grow out of hand. I also use to run XFS as my main file type for root but have decided to stop doing that since 9.10 as ext4 works well enough for OS files. I'm not building a desktop. I'm building a server that I want to stay up once it is built. When I build my laptops or desktops I just let it go automatically. Hope that answers your questions.

Also there isn't much reason to have /boot on its own partition unless you are doing something like run a btrfs root, or some other fs that grub does not understand. Also why give /var/log its own partition?

I really need to update that as it is now quite out of date. Ignore it for now and just install the updated package from my ppa, then install normally. You should choose the manual partition option and make sure to select to install to the same partition as last time, then change the grub install device at the end, and it should all just work. > grub> root (hd0,4) root (hd0,4) grub> setup (hd0) setup (hd0) > Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if > "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if > "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed > /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 17 sectors are embedded. > succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p > (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... failed That looks like grub 1.

Herb At the last step of the installer you need to click the advanced button. It gives the option to not install grub, or install it to a device other than /dev/sda.

FYI after I muddled through the install a couple weekends ago by linking or renaming stuff under /dev/mapper I ended up with a bootable system. But the problem that persisted was grub-update (or whatever runs during system updates) continued to try to write to /dev/sda which is one element of my RAID5 group. I used the information from a post that noted there was no /boot/device.map and created one on my system. That resolved the last issue I was having. So apparently that file is required for ongoing updates. I also get screen fulls of messages about "you have a memory leak" but you probably can't do anything about that. -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
