I just did tests on both drives in the array and they're both fine, no issues with either one of them. So now I'm even more confused about the errors.<br>
<br>
After installing on the array configured in RAID0, the bootloader is unable to find a partition with the UUID (the error is no such device /dev/disk/by-uuid/{UUID}. When I installed under RAID 1, both drives had identical partitions (as they should) and they both had the same UUID and bootup proceeded normally. I even unmirrored the drives and booted each one separately (after changing the UUID on one of them slightly) and had no issues there. So there's something going on with RAID 0 (LSI SAS controller) that I'm not understanding.<br>

Having backups was the intent. This array is supposed to hold the OS.<br>
Regular data is going on three external arrays later. Right now I'm<br>
just trying to solve the problem I'm having with installing the OS at all.<br>

The only time that I've experienced massive data loss was due to this<br>
configuration. I lost not only the data on the bad drive, but all the<br>
data on<br>
the 2 other drives in the stripe. Files are written across all the<br>
drives in<br>
the RAID set, tiny parts at a time.<br>
<br>
* Have excellent backups OR<br>
* Only use RAID0 storage for extremely temporary files.<br>

I hope not but I'll check with a test install using RAID 1 instead.<br>
And yes<br>
it's RAID 0 but Dell just calls it striping across drives in the BIOS.<br>

"striping across 2 drives" ?<br>
<br>
RAID 0?<br>
<br>
If so, you've got a bad drive.<br>

I'm installing Debian 7.1 clean on a Dell Precision 690 with<br>
on-board RAID<br>
(Xeon and using the amd64 install image). The RAID is configured for<br>
striping only across two disks. Installation from the CD runs<br>
along with<br>
no apparent issues (right now it's not connected to the network so<br>
I'm only<br>
performing a bare-bones install to test). However, when it boots I<br>
get a<br>
"wrong page" error a few times and then the whole thing stops and<br>
drops me<br>
into busybox. The messages include not being able to find the UUID<br>
of the<br>
array, no /dev, and a couple others like that.<br>
<br>
I can't seem to find anything online that can explain the issue.<br>
Ideas?<br>
