Indeed.
Try and install 22.04 on a server that has two exactly identical NVME drives, you're very likely going to be in for a very interesting adventure involving a strange beast called 'multipath' devices.
It was so bad I had to switch back to the legacy text installer for 20.04.
- withinboredom 4y agoDisabling multi path is pretty easy. That being said, months of strange errors and mount issues took a really long time to discover that that was the issue.
- ur-whale 4y ago> Disabling multi path is pretty easy. At install time? All my attempts have failed in the following fashion: . I boot the text only installer . Once it runs I switch to a shell . I edit the python code of subiquity / curtin to rip out anything that has to do with mutlipath . I disable all systemd shite related to multipath . I kill the installer (and systemd restarts it) . When I get to partioning, I finally see my NVME devices instead of the weird multipath stuff . I create a raid-0 partition on them . The installer then fails miserably Care to share your recipe?
