Does it respect md's point of view which disk is bad and which is not? Does it cooperate well with mdadm in general? Grub legacy was way easy, just setup on disk & read that disk, no raid knowledge, no problems. I guess grub2 can be configured in that manner too, but as it has raid/lvm/whatever support, may be give it a try... I've got Debian Squeeze servers with grub2, without any mirroing, so converting them into RAID1 system, wanna make it right. --=20 Best regards, [COOLCOLD-RIPN] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
