New to Qubes. I thought this would be a good system to try a Qubes install. TPM, adequate storage, reasonably powerful hosting platform.

Is Qubes going to see my RAID array? Aside from a RAID 10 storage array, I run RAID 1 as my system disk. Thoughts?

Took me a while to figure this out in the installer, so I will document the steps I used to do this: on the “Device Selecting” screen I checked the two 1TB drives I had used for my RAID1 install I clicked “Custom”…

You could be the first to submit one, and that would definitely go a long way in getting Qubes OS fully-functional on your machine.

Even if it’s only partially complete, it’ll be an excellent starting point for us to identify any issues and help you fix them
