Message-ID: <531D0637.4080009@shaw.ca> (raw)
In the past I have used whole drives (<2TB) as block devices for mdadm
raid and a separate single drive for grub, boot, swap, root and home
with no problem. I now want to upgrade (non-UEFI bios machine) to
multiple 3TB drives thinking 3 active in Raid 5 with 1 spare again using
the full drives as block devices and installing Lubuntu 12.10 LTS
alternate for server/command line.
Using Lubuntu 13.10 desktop live (therefore recent mdadm, gparted,
parted, etc) I've created and easily assembled/started the mdadm array
/dev/md0 from sd[a-c], sdd as spare. I then partition /dev/md0 on MIB
boundaries the following in order 1MB free space, 2MB bios-grub, 200MB
boot, 10GB swap, remainder root (5.6 TB?) with 1MB trailing free space.
Then rebooting to 12.10 alternate for install I have difficulties
installing grub anywhere. Even fails using boot-repair (link below) Any
ideas?
