Subject: Good hardware for mdadm
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 22:31:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ltqnvm$80o$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello,
I like mdadm and I am using it many years. But in my opinion it has one
disadvantage: when the MBR of the boot-disk is corrupt, the machine will
not boot.
A bios could check this. Wait for some kind of signal from Grub or
Linux, and after a timeout boot from another disk. But I don't know
about a bios with that feature.
A PCIe card could do something like that, but I don't know about such a
PCIe card.
Is there such hardware?
What do you do to avoid this problem?
With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
