See this bug that has been determined (correctly, I think) to be "not a dmraid bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+bug/543008
My particular experience was quite a surprise and wasted a lot of time. Some details are in that bug report. dmraid decided that my (only) disk was part of (broken?) RAID array so Ubiquity wouldn't even show its partitions. It never told me why. I could not guess because the drive had never been part of a RAID nor did the machine have Promise hardware. Still a mystery. My fix was to delete the RAID fingerprints from the disk (sudo dmraid -r -E). Easy, once I knew that this was the problem. Feature request: make ubiquity report detected broken RAID arrays. Say *why* disks are being ignored. BTW, why does https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubiquity say "Ubiquity does not use Launchpad for bug tracking."? -- Installer does not detect hard drive partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573618 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
