You mention Intel fakeRAID and Storage Spaces for Windows. They are not the same thing at all.
mdadm is supposedly able to handle Intel fakeRAID sets. See if there's a device in /dev/md that corresponds to your RAID set.
I install Slackware on systems with fakeRAIDs fairly often. I use a modified install image with dmraid, which handles most fakeRAID metadata types. Unfortunately only RAID1 works, due to changes to RAID4/5/6 kernel support that were made after the development of dmraid ceased.
In either case, booting Linux from a fakeRAID set requires an initrd with RAID support.
when I launch my Slackware installer (uefi so grub) and go to cgdisk /dev/md126 I can see the partitions and edit but unable to save.
When I do a cat /proc/mdstat I can see a RAID 1 active but as read only...
I mentioned Fake RAID and Software RAID, but what I meant was that because I didn't manage to do FAKE RAID dual boot configuration, has someone some tips about how to configure a dual boot with software RAID.
But if you have a step by step to configure a dual boot with fake RAID, I'm ON. So please enlight me.
