I need to install a software raid-0 array on a Ubuntu 12.04 server with mdadm through commandline (SSH).

The drive setup is as follows:

  • SDA = OS SSD
  • SDB = HDD for raid 0
  • SDC = HDD for raid 0

Please be aware that RAID0 is a very bad idea on a server in general. What have you tried? Is this a new installation or an existing one? What installation medium are you using? (for 12.04 you'll need the alternate installer I believe) On an existing setup, you can just create an array using mdadm. – gertvdijk Dec 19 '12 at 15:58

You can setup RAID 0 array from this tutorial how ever the chunk size while telling mdadm is not provided in the tutorial and will use from the default setting from your config file but you can do it yourself just by adding --chunk=128 on the command
