Users / RAID in 12.04
« on: January 14, 2015, 02:41:35 am »
I have been playing around with 14.04 and 12.04 builds and this project sure has come a long way! I have a 10.04 system in which I utilize an SSD as my main drive and then a RAID 5 setup to store media and in previous versions this works fine when upgrading - just use the SSD as the install drive and then LMCE detects the RAID and my media is right where I left it.
Now before installing the newer versions I remember reading a post that 12.04 does not detect RAID and of course it does not (I looked for the post again before writing this one and of course, cannot seem to locate it). Installing 14.04 it did detect the RAID and appears ok - so my question is - can someone point me in the direction to get RAID detection working in 12.04 as 14.04 has dependency issues that are out of my league to correct.
Does this not mean the raid is present?
any suggestions would be appreciated!
