new Ubuntu version approaching
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009ubuntu/debian raid10 installation
Monday, October 19th, 2009I’m currently setting up a new file server. My first plan was to use Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. The system has four sata drives, that should be combined to a raid10. Actually I wanted to use two raid1 which are combined into a striped logical volume via LVM. The server has no cd/dvd drive. Therefor an installation via PXE is the way to go. The text installer is capable of creation md raids and LVM volumes. Though I didn’t find any possibility to create a striped volume, neither in the debian nor in the ubuntu installer.
The solution is the following:
1. create the md raids and the LVM volumes outside the installer, with some live system.(CD/DVD or USB)
2. start the PXE installer
3. in the partition editor choose “manual setup”(or something similar)
4. the system will detect the created volumes which can be further used
This is only possibile with the current stable Debian installer, not with the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS installer. I don’t know if the situation change in a newer Ubuntu version. It probably did as they take the code from Debian. Whatever…so my server will be a Debian system.

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009In order to connect to your usb connected Android phone from you Android SDK under Ubuntu 9.04, you have to do the following:
1. Login as root and create the file:
