Sadly I have to inform you that by creating a RAID, all information on the given partitions are lost, though any way it shouldn't fail and 40%. Could you report what kind of error message was given at the time it failed?

During support discussions with Ubbe, we discovered a bug making it impossible to create raid on a system with 2TB disks on the 1.2.0 software.
This will be adressed and should be fixed in 1.2.1.

Hi
Is it now safe to make an upgrade of my Bubba2 or will I loose my Raid configuration?

Hi,

Upgrading the existing system should not be of any concern regardless of the previous bug (that is resolved now with 1.2.1 release) since it only affected the creation of the RAID.

This is no good.
I don't upgrade my Bubba as there isn't any large things happen whit this software but to v 1.2.4 i decided to update as Excito team says it will not destroy my Raid AGAIN.
First thing that happend is just that. Look in http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2063 but no response from bubba team.
Then my bubba go down and just start flashing.. Have to boot from usb and do a new install.
The nice and not working raid recovery tool cant get my files from other disk and now am i deep shit...
Now have i given the excitoteam free access to my bubba to recover raid but now sucsess yet.

I Cant recommend anyone to buy this concept. There is better solutions that not depends on a few people time and spirit. Better and faster hardware that don't use mutch energy, and lot of better and free software out there. I'm very disappointed about this.

This is my 5 cent

This issue is now resolved, and after investigating I think it's related to an earlier problem we had with 2TB installations, which resulted in that no swap space was ever created in the beginning, and thus when the system tries to allocate more memory than physically available, it wont get any, and the process in question will terminate and leave the setup in a bad state.
