TY! Way more complicated than I expected. You made it very easy to understand and complete.

Thank you! I was looking *everywhere* for that option to mark a disk as a boot disk.

Thank you for this tutorial. I've done RAID dozens of times in Windows, but this is my first Linux install. I just couldn't figure out what was needed. You explained exactly what to do.

Had a weird setup to deal with and this helped me a lot. Thanks for this one!

Thank you for the excellent video. Setting up a RAID1 to install on was making me tear out my hair. This helped me understand what I was doing wrong and get it going.

Thank you! Great video and easy explanation.

Thanks for this. Was planning on using hardware RAID 1 on the motherboard but after messing with it for a long time discovered not only is the driver for AMD RAID on Ubuntu hard to find but it also doesn't support NVME drives on X570. Someone told me to use software RAID 1 you need 4 drives but you proved that to not be the case.

[mtahir]

having issues where after installation setup exactly like yours but on boot im getting something along disk not found.. any idea?

I was unable to install Ubuntu, not server, on my asus motherboard raid 0?

[wbvpm]

Ok, I used this to do this initially (about 6 months ago or so) and it worked great, thanks!

That said, unfortunately, I had one of my drives fail, how do I recreate the first part of the second drive (the part about creating the boot partition on drive 2) so that it can boot to either drive?

(FYI, these are NVMe drives)

[cat-division]

Thank you very much! You would think that the server installer makes it easier to set up a RAID :)

Danke Bruder, hat einfach funktioniert. Ich küss dein Auge

[nouendan]

Thanks. Is there any additional setup one needs to do (perhaps in grub or is fstab) to ensure that both drives are bootable independently ? I found that I can boot from one but not from the other, even though both were selected as boot devices as per your guide.
