Re: Installing grub2 with /boot on software raid

[Wesley PA4WDH]

Hi Jordan,

I'll create the bug reports this weekend. I think i even need to create two:
1) For the issue with a one-disk-RAID array
2) grub2-probe still "double free"'s when i point it to a real partition which 
is part of a raid array, this did no go away when i made the disks really 
redundant.

Do you agree with that ?

Best regards,
Wesley

Ps: Sorry for top posting and the ugly quoting, i was forced to switch to a new 
web interface and it seems it simply doesn't do any quoting ...

 I'm glad you were able to get things working, but
 grub-install should
 still handle this better (especially when it's not even
 /boot/ that's
 causing the issue). Would you please file a bug report at
 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=grub
 with steps to
 reproduce (basically just how to create a one device RAID1)
 so that
 this can hopefully get fixed?
