Personally, I like to see that every part can be read from a RAID device, but maybe not so important in reality.... > I let grub-setup put the RAID device directly into the prefix and put > -2 in grub_install_dos_part.

So, if my understanding is correct, core.img is read from a single disk, but the rest is handled in a RAID device, right? Okuji
