I used Linux a long, long time ago(in 1999, using RedHat 6.0 I'm not mistaken).
Just for curiosity, I started using Linux again with Ubuntu and got surprised how things evolved.
There is one thing though, which I can't make it work at all, which is to make ubuntu understand the disk arrays.
I have 2 arrays of disks: First with 3 SSDs in RAID 0 Second with two hard disks in RAID 1
The arrays were built using the Intel RAID RST, hard disks are configured to be used in RAID mode instead of AHCI.
Before installing anything I already performed a backup of the data and unplugged my second array of hard disks from the machine. If I lose the array of SSDs I don't care, the worst thing that can happen is that I will have to do is to reinstall OS.
My issue is: Once I boot Ubuntu 19.10, it identifies two volumes of hard disks related to my SSD. I tried to delete the partitions and create just a new one (mounting to / ) however when I clicked OK the system simply hangs.
I rebooted the machine and the Windows installation was still there, so Ubuntu didn't touch the array.
Is Ubuntu 19.10 supporting Intel RST hardware arrays? My motherboard is an ASUS Maximus VI formula with a Z87 chipset.
Thanks so much in advance. FucaBala
