Dear all,
I'm trying to migrate a Debian Jessie system from a single disk to an md
raid1. I have created the RAID and copied everything over to the array
(single partition before and after), but I struggle to get the grub config
generated with the new array.
I have mostly been following https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/
Converting_an_existing_system#Installing_grub
But when it says "Now run grub-mkconfig. It should detect your array",
that's not happening for me, as far as I can see. I've grepped through it
for the UUID too...
Both because it looks a little scary and because it is a good idea to stick
to the distro way of doing things, I'd like to do it the Debian way and
generate the config rather than write it by hand.
Allthough I don't see an menuentry generated for the new array, I see the
domdadm getting onto the boot line, so at least the /etc/default/grub is
correct.
Though it wasn't the way I wanted to do it, I then tried to hack the
grub.cfg itself, but it didn't seem to help.
Finally, I tried adding
GRUB_DEVICE_UUID=30c01ed7-24cd-482e-84d2-785ae3acfd8c
in /etc/default/grub, since
address@hidden:/boot/grub# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep md
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 23 14:47 30c01ed7-24cd-482e-84d2-785ae3acfd8c
-> ../../md1
Now, I'm out of ideas, and I will be very grateful for any help.
Best,
Kjetil
