Hi Reese From : It took me 6-8 hours to finish the upgrade. It's a very slow connection today, of all  days. Xenial is looking sharp and beautiful. I did not encounter any problems with the upgrade. I'm downloading the image through the torrents. I figure I should help out with the others who are downloading a fresh ubuntu. -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1604 mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog .

Hi Reese I followed some tutorials for creating RAID and filesystem then mounting the RAID disks to an existing installation of linux. I checked the configuration files for mdadm and fstab. I found nothing or so I thought. I printed out results for fdisk and raid scan. It turns out I had copied the wrong UUID for the RAID in my fstab file. Didn't know that you can create a RAID level 5 with just two disks though. Of course for practical purposes it's not RAID 5 but a RAID 1, two disks mirroring each other because the parity are on two disks. I'm adding another disk further on - maybe a spare disk later after that. -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1404lts mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog .

Hi Reese My project took me from using Fedora 23 to being unable to boot  my PC to reinstalling the operating system to finally using  Ubuntu 14.04 like a lifeboat.  I was working on converting an old RAID 0 set up to a more  robust RAID 5. RAID 5 will give me a chance to swap a replacement hard drive for a failing one without, I had hoped, losing uptime and data. After booting on a live cd to prepare the devices and create the RAID, I tried to boot Fedora. No go. It kept shoving me to "rescue mode". Uh-oh. I checked the RAID and it's clean and  active. There's nothing wrong with the RAID or the conversion . I checked the configuration files for mdadm and fstab. I don't see anything odd. This is when I spent a lot of time googling. None of the fixes I read worked.   -- Donato Roque @ubuntu1404lts mobile#+63-9185721710 I'm on twitter and facebook . Check out my blog . Consider using my PGP keys ...
