Too late for Focal since the release date is today. You could argue for an SRU into Focal in your bug, but the more likely target for now would be 20.10, and that's assuming this is an issue of missing support for mdadm, rather than some other issue. > - Timeline > I don't think this feature is critical, no need to rush. > A later release after Focal should be fine. Cool. Like I said, Focal is unlikely outside an SRU at this point, but 20.10 could be possible. > > Thanks Jeff. > > Best regards, > Renzo > > On Wednesday, 22 April 2020 15:46:05 BST Jeffrey Lane wrote: > > Hi Renzo > > > > I can confirm that Ubiquity in Focal does not provide any means to > > create a software RAID setup. > > > > Moreover, while it at least has some LVM ability, it does not provide > > the ability to create an LVM setup across multiple disks. > > > > Unfortunately, this is not going to happen for Focal it's WAY too late > > to make feature requests, that should have been done early on in the > > cycle. > > Renzo could you please file a bug against 'ubiquity' requesting this > > support be added into the desktop installer? > > > > Thanks > > Jeff > > > > On Wed, Apr 22, 2020 at 9:59 AM Renzo de Paoli <depaoli.re...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > > > Dear Ubuntu developers. > > > > > > Observations: > > > - RAID is no longer only of interest to Server users > > > - It appears that a number of users would like to use RAID on desktop > > > machines > > > - Forums, web sites, tutorials about RAID with Ubuntu Desktop seems to > > > consist to a large part of explanations, how to get actually get mdadm > > > - Getting mdadm onto an Ubuntu machine without Internet connection during > > > installation appears to be a bit tedious > > > > > > Request: > > > - Inclusion of mdadm in future Ubuntu Desktop releases, same as for > > > Ubuntu Server. > > > > > > Thanks. > > > > > > Best regards, > > > Renzo > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > > Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list > > > Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com > > > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > > > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss > > > > > > > > -- > > Jeff Lane > > Engineering Manager > > IHV/OEM Alliances and Server Certification > > > > "Entropy isn't what it used to be." > > > > -- Jeff Lane Engineering Manager IHV/OEM Alliances and Server Certification "Entropy isn't what it used to be." -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
