Allow installing on mdadm raid arrays #313

Open michal-kurz opened 9 months ago

michal-kurz commented 9 months ago

Feature Description

I wanted to install Orchid onto a mdadm raid0 array cos why the hell not. When booting into the iso, the installer naturally does not see it, because the array is not assembled and madam is not even present.

After opening the terminal and running sudo apt install mdadm and sudo mdadm --assemble --scan, gparted sees my raid array and allows me to create my partitions. But the installer does not offer those partitions to be selected in the manual partitioning form, I'm not sure why :(

Could this please be changed? I assume that the system should run fine from the raid array, if I get grub to assemble the array before booting from it - or am I wrong?

Rationale

Would allow installing on all levels of raid. Data safety is cool. Raid 0 go vzooooooom.
