I have a laptop with BiosRaid 1 and Windows 7 running. I do need this Windows, but most of my work I do on Ubuntu which is installed in dual boot.
Now I want to replace Ubunto by Fedora. So I run the installation and that worked fine but than it seems to destoy the Raid in some way. At least the Intel Storage Manager does repair it every time I boot Win7 after any Fedora session.. This does not happen with Ubuntu.
In the installation guide I found this:
>>Fedora 18 uses mdraid instead of dmraid for installation onto Intel BIOS RAID sets. These sets are detected automatically, and devices with Intel ISW metadata are recognized as mdraid instead of dmraid. Note that the device node names of any such devices under mdraid are different from their device node names under dmraid. Therefore, special precautions are necessary when you migrate systems with Intel BIOS RAID sets.
Local modifications to /etc/fstab, /etc/crypttab or other configuration files which refer to devices by their device node names will not work in Fedora 18. Before migrating these files, you must therefore edit them to replace device node paths with device UUIDs instead. You can find the UUIDs of devices with the blkid command. <<
Frankly, it doesn't really mean anything to me. But I guess here is the source of my trouble.
Can please someone tell me if my guess is right and than how to do the installation with mdraid?
