Ubuntu, Mounting a RAID 0 array with an NTFS partition


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I'm trying to mount a Intel RAID 0 Array spanning two SATA hard drives on Ubuntu 8.10 with little success.

Can anyone advice me on how to do this, I need access to the NTFS partition to make some modifications to it, i'm booting from a LiveCD BTW.

Thanks

Is it hardware RAID, if so what controller are you running it on?

If it's software RAID, not sure if you're gonna have much success with that..

Hardware RAID and it's running on a Intel ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R SATA RAID Controller.

Is the RAID array active and stable in the bios? One would think Ubuntu should pick it up automatically given it's running on an intel raid

Yeah, I'm booting to Windows Vista on this very same Array. When Booting into Ubuntu and going into "Computer" I get "CD/DVD Drive" and "Filesystem" Filesystem obviously is just the small RAM Drive that's set aside.

If I go into "Partition Editor"/GParted, then I get both hard drives displaying as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, but it does not show them as a RAID.

Any ideas? :blink:

I've always wanted to run RAID on my server as well but have always run into the exact same issue. (note, this is my desktop PC we're talking about, the server i'll tackle in the future)

According to this post it looks like you are dealing with a not-quite-hardware RAID.

And the Linux-ATA site has a little more information on the ICH sets. Not sure if the 8/9/10 sets can be made to work.

Well, thats a slap in the face with a wet fish, this is probably the only big let down for Linux for me. :'(

Think this'll be added in the near future or am I doomed to a life of Windows?

Well, 8,9 and 10 aren't clear, from what I see.

But, if companies don't release specs to help engineer drivers, or if they don't release them themselves (as ATI and nVidia do), then it is up to a talented few to try to reverse engineer. :(

Keep looking, there may be support. But it may be that the raid need to be created within Linux.

Worst case, there is dmraid, I think.

Hmm, I'll have a look into DMRAID.

Next up, slightly moving on topic.

I have a server, same issue and it's a Intel Chipset, and I want to RAID 0 that. How would I go about setting up a software raid in Ubuntu Server 8.10? Any useful links you could share?

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
