X-BeenThere: grub-devel@gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: The development of GRUB 2 List-Id: The development of GRUB 2 List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:12:35 -0000 According to http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID, "GRUB has support for LVM and RAID since version 1.95" and "Installing GRUB while /boot is on RAID and/or LVM should be straightforward". However, it doesn't specify what RAID levels are supported. RAID-1 is certainly supported. What about other RAID levels, like RAID-5, RAID-0 or RAID-10? Will GRUB2 boot a Linux system from such RAID levels without a separate /boot partition? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
