Pre-
- Make a bootable usb key with Ubuntu 14.04.5 desktop installed.
- Two hard disks:
/dev/sda 100GB
/dev/sdb 50GB
Configuration
/home 50GB RAID1
/ 40GB
/boot 1GB
swap 9GB
Installing
step 1: boot to your usb driver. (use BISO)
step 2: try ubuntu
step 3: open a terminal. Clean your drivers.
sudo sgdisk -Z /dev/sda
sudo sgdisk -Z /dev/sdb
step 4: connect to internet.
step 5: install the RAID manager with default configuration
sudo apt-get install mdadm
step 6: partition the drivers: /dev/sda
and /dev/sdb
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda
n
p
1 # <- sda1
2048
+50G # <- sda1 with 50GB for /home on RAID1
n
p
2 # <- sda2
[enter] # <- press enter on your keyboard
+1G # <- sda2 with 1GB for /boot
n
p
3 # <- sda3
[enter] # <- press enter on your keyboard
+40G # <- sda3 with 40GB for /
n
p
4 # <- sda4
[enter] # <- press enter on your keyboard
[enter] # <- press enter on your keyboard,for Swap
w
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
n
p
1 # <- sdb1
2048
+50G # <- sdb1 with 50GB for /home on RAID1
step 7: create RAID 1
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
@H_403_142@* step 8*: create partitions on /dev/md0
$ sudo fdisk /dev/md0
n
p
1
[enter]
[enter] # <- md0p1 is ready
step 9: start to install ubuntu on your hard drivers.
use manual partitioning. configure each driver:
Just select corresponding driver,choose use as ext4
or swap
,check the format
Box.
step 10 : once you finish the installation,do not reboot. The following steps is very important!
sudo -s
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc
cat /etc/resolv.conf >> /mnt/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /mnt
apt-get install mdadm vim
vim /etc/grub.d/10_linux # change quick_boot to 0
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install /dev/sdb
update-grub
sudo shutdown -r now
Enjoy it !
