Some versions of GRUB will only understand 0.90 metadata, so at least the boot partition should use that. In addition, if you don't have the whole drive raid, you really should be sure you have written a useful boot sector to each drive. Other than that I can't think of any particular issues you might have. Depending on your distribution you may have to create a new boot image using mkinitrd or whatever your distribution has decided is better. If you change your setup after install this is often needed. -- Bill Davidsen We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
