Ubuntu on LVM on RAID1?

[Norberto Bensa]

Hello list,

two Samsung HD103UJ (1TB) drives are on the way to my home. I'm
planning to install Ubuntu Jaunty on LVM2 on top of a RAID1 (mdadm)
setup formed by these two drives. I have a lot of experience with LVM2
and in fact I won't go back to plain/normal partitions anymore (LVM
rocks.) I lack experience with SWRAID setups in particular with
Debian/Ubuntu, except for setups where RAID is managed by a
specialized hardware card (like the Adaptec on some HP servers for
example)

The questions are: is it possible to make this install using only the
stock installer? Does anyone ever made such a setup? Does it work?
Does anyone have links of interest?

I have read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1%2BLVM
but it says:

  "It should also be noted that this guide is intended for those
wishing to setup a file/data server/store with RAID 0+1 functionality
(but with LVM taking the place of RAID 0), and not for those looking
to install Ubuntu onto an existing LVM/RAID 1 system (although it may
be useful for that)."

...and so that guide seems to be of no much use to me.


Many thanks in advance,
Norberto
