Hello, when i try to use the script to install ubuntu 20.04 i get a error, "efibootmgr : command not found " I'm trying to install on a hp gen 10 prolient dl360

you have access to my log and the setup file.

EDIT : needed to install the package : sudo apt-get install efibootmgr

The script is for Ubuntu 22.04. I haven't tested it with 20.04. I'm glad you've found the problem. I'll test the script with 22.04 using your drive setup variables to check there isn't a problem with 22.04.

I had a look at the log and script file you sent. Why have you decided on a raidz1 config rather than a mirror config? You have two drives, so you will have a parity calculation overhead with no gain in resilience? That is, you can lose one drive without data loss. The same as a mirror. Except with the mirror, there are no parity calculations.

You typed that you are installing 20.04 above. But the script file you forwarded has 22.04 set. That is, ubuntuver="jammy". Which ubuntu version did you install?

Hello, yeah i fucked up i was meaning 22.04, my bad. i do need to try to install the 20.04 version, i was trying the 22.04 to avoid as much as possible problems. For raidz1 or mirror, i was just checking if this was what was fucking up my installation, just trying stuff at random. i'm using mirror now.

I managed to finalize an installation but the pool didn't work apparently. when booting it tell me in the zfsbootmenu that it's unable to import pool.

I haven't tested the current script with 20.04. Have you tried edifus' earlier fork of my script that is for 20.04?

Closing the issue as you've confirmed the installation worked with 22.04. What changed that it worked now but didn't work before. Did you have internet connection problems that meant a package wasn't downloaded during the install process?

i am not aware of why the pool corrupted during my first installation. there was no error given at the end.

i did try to use the script on a 20.04 image of live linux, surely might be the reason

thanks for the help
