Ha! Yes, this made a difference, thanks! With metadata 0.90 I can see the |
| 15 |
same partitions I set up on /dev/md0, also on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. The only |
| 16 |
problem now is that the Ubuntu server CD wants to format /dev/sda2 as swap and |
| 17 |
fails at that stage. :-/ |

Not sure how to by-pass this. |

I may also try metadata=1.0 to see if this makes a difference, which also |
| 22 |
positions the RAID data superblock at the end of the device: |

Sub-Version Superblock Position on Device |

----------- ----------------------------- |
| 26 |
0.9 At the end of the device |
| 27 |
1.0 At the end of the device |
| 28 |
1.1 At the beginning of the device |
| 29 |
1.2 4K from the beginning of the device |
