Did a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 on a single disk (guided partitioning, use whole disk), 500GB disk. System boots fine. Tried Raider to convert this to a RAID6 system with other 3 500GB disks (same make). Failed already in initial run with:
sudo raider -R6 sda sdb sdc sdd
:: raider version 0.13.2 started
:: Option: Single disk to RAID 6
:: Distro name and version: Ubuntu-Server 12.04.1
:: Distro edition: Ubuntu-Server 12.04.1 LTS (Precise Pangolin) - Release amd64 (20120817.3)
:: Test Status (in lab): Not tested
:: Advice: Use raider at your own risk (and send back your result)!
:: /dev/sda partition table type: MBR/msdos
:: Bootloader not found in the boot sector.
:: FATAL ERROR: Bootloader does not exist in /dev/sda!
