I'm seeing this bug in an install of 10.04.1, although this may be related to my creating the RAID 1 array before hand, since with the WD20EARS drives otherwise the cylinder alignment isn't right - or at least I can't see how to make it so.
Is there a work-around? Or do I have to entirely reinstall leaving (how much) extra space after the partitions? Or ...? I know a bug report isn't the perfect fit for talking about workarounds. Still, people do look for them here. I'm sure I'm not the only Ubuntu user who never uses Ubuntu's installer to set up partitions. I've also had cylinder alignment issues with it on true hardware RAID in the past. It's far less awkward to just boot and partition from something like System Rescue Disk, and then go to the Ubuntu install. Except it looks like for the current state of things I filled to disks too far?
Or what does it take to move to the "newer mdadm metadata format"? Is there a grub that _does_ support it?
