gdisk raid
by olivier.voutat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53RW2)
Trying to install Slackware 64 in a Dell Precision T1700. I'm having a lot of trouble. It is configured to use UEFI, and has two SDD of 256G each in RAID mode.
My first problem was booting the DVD in UEFI mode. Was getting an sector error from grub.
Found an alternative, created an USB Slackware installer.
Second problem, I see a /dev/md126 device which seems to be representation of the raid.
But when I try to save the edited partions, I get an error message saying that there was an error.
I also have windows 10 on this machine and tried other partition managers as partition wizard or easeus. Crap.
Easeus doesn't have swap option and wizard says falsely that formats are swap and ext4 but when I go back to cgdisk, it indicates basic data partition (windows). Slackware doesn't see them.
I did a lot of research and didn't find a solution yet. Some tips?
