raid 0

I'm upgrading my fluid cooled computer to a amd 4ghz 8core with (not needed for#!) 16g ram and a gigabyte motherboard. The old OS was lubuntu only because of the motherboard or "false" raid 0 inwitch #! would not see and lubuntu had no problems with. my question is has waldorf fixed this?

Re: raid 0

There's really no reason why any iteration of #! would have ever not been compatible with raid 0, but perhaps you mean to say that the installer didn't recognize the raid array? Raid functionality is a result of the kernel and mdadm, so what distro you use really shouldn't impact how that works. There's a lot of info on setting up raid arrays on kernel.org. Usually from what I've heard, people tend to mount /boot on USB sticks, SD cards, floppy disks, or some kind of storage device besides the controller the software raid array is being made on in order to simplify the process. Since debian wheezy is still in the development stage and changes are still being made to it's installer, it's hard to say what will and won't work by the time that installer gets ported to waldorf, but I'm sure there's a way for you to get your raid array working in waldorf, or to add the #! repos to a debian installation.

Re: raid 0

Fake RAID is seperate from software linux RAID (mdadm), although detection of those is still probably dependent on the kernel version

Re: raid 0

I.ve worked through my hardware problems and tried to install crunchbang and sadly it does not see my raid. Will have to go with some sort of ubuntu

Re: raid 0

@dove : setting up 2 velociraptor SATA disks with mdadm to a raid 1 allowed installation of crunchbang waldorf without problems for me. I suppose the problem is not with crunchbang.
If the installer does not see the raid, then I guess that the reaid was not installed successfully. good luck.
