I can't find much about this on ubuntu.com, but its "alternate" (text mode installer) download definitley used to support LVM and no doubt still does. I'm pretty sure it's based on Debian's installer, which apparently does also support RAID. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I've tried Ubuntu about a year ago, but it didn't support any RAID nor LVM configurations in installation stage, so I went back to Fedora, which has all those options. Configuration is very easily done. The only tricky part is that you have to type some commands manually in fdisk to install MBR on both disks if you want to boot from RAID-1 setup. All the info is available on the net. By the way, my swap is also on LVM/RAID-5. I just don't know how to get rid from the node corruptions. I start suspecting my hardware.

Re: [vdr] Soft RAID-5 + LVM file system corruption
I started switching to raid but ran into problems with lack of info. 3 500gb sata drives with 3 partitions each. The first 2 are mirrored with 1 spare. That was to be for all the boot abd program files. The second was to be swap and the third which is raid 5 is storage for recordings. I have the recordings in use, but ran into some confusion about setting up the boot stuff. I don't recall the exact problem, but when installing the stuff for raid it did some kind of update, but only to the original kernal which is still there, not to the custom built which is being used. Some the messages pointed to things relating to using a ram disk during boot which is not suposed to be needed when just mirroring the boot area. I was going to also use LVM on the raid 5 part but ext3 wasn't well supported and the other file systems didn't have the full jernaling or something and I also want to set up samba and use some of that space for backing up my windows computer. - Original Message - From: Alex Betis To: vdr@linuxtv.org Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 12:51 PM Subject: [vdr] Soft RAID-5 + LVM file system corruption Hello all, A system question, not so VDR related, but I hope someone in the list use the same configuration.

I stand corrected. To be honest, I am not sure whether I tested the acpi-wakeup using UTC=no with the vdr.
