Bug Description
CD: Kubuntu 7.04 alternate beta
Configuring a new array: steps to reproduce:
1) boot from cd and select text-mode installation (not commandline)
2) when asked for type of partitioning, select "manual"
3) configure partitions and make two or more partitions with type "linux software raid"
4) select "configure raid" (you will be asked to confirm changes first)
5) the partitioner quits with an error that no software raid partitions have been found
Assembling an existing array: steps to reproduce:
1) boot from cd and select text-mode installation (not commandline)
2) when asked for type of partitioning, select "manual"
3) configure partitons and confirm that two or more partitions with type "linux software raid" already exist, from a previous installation or something
4) select "configure raid" (you will be asked to confirm changes first)
5) the partitioner quits with the error about "/dev/md/0", it should be "/dev/md0"
Those bugs probably exist in the installer, and I will try to describe these errors in more detail soon.
I have much the same problem. Set up 4 pairs of raid partitions. After 'configure raid' get the error message "could not stat device /dev/md/4 (sic!) - No such file or directory. A re-boot gives message that md partitions are in safe mode. The installer has a bug.
