Software RAID

[spider0987]

Is it possible to create a software RAID array during installation? The install does not provide disk Druid or custom KS to handle this.

I have seen all the mdadm commands are available post install.

if you use the appropriate tools you could modify the install to make anything available during install that you like.

but a software raid during install is more an "Ubuntu" question (since this is a standard ubuntu 32 bit deployment installation).

VicidialNOW doesn't have the software RAID feature yet during installation. If you can create a custom KS that handles this, we might be able to include it in future releases.

I was thinking of making a bootable USB stick with the ViciDialNow distro and then modifying the KS file.

ViciBox allows you to do this through the standard Ubuntu drive partitioning utility during installation.

That can actually be done. VicidialNOW can be also be remastered to include your own customizations. Let me know if you have a working KS file for RAID support during installation.

I modified the ks.cfg file and removed the following entries:

#Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --grow
part swap --size=512 --grow --maxsize=1024

I can now re-partition the disk on install, however the installer does not install all of the vicidialnow components and when it boots, it is a RO file system with only one partition. when I should have / and /boot.
