Thanks again, Phillip. Does that mean I should start over? Will this work with dual boot?
I have been trying to follow the instructions given on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto. I had to create a /target directory before I could bind to it. r...@ubuntu:/# dmraid -a y RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0" already active RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume01" already active RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume02" already active RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume03" already active RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume05" already active RAID set "isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume06" already active r...@ubuntu:/# grub --no-curses It worries me that grub reports the mirrored volumes separately: grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,4) (hd1,4) Then I tried this: 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 Error 22: No such partition Now, I tried again and got: setup (hd0) Error 12: Invalid device requested So what is your advice? Have I wiped out my original raid configuration by writing to hd0? Should I give up on dual boot? (I backed up my Windows 7 and could live without it). Advice is appreciated.
