https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227377 ------- Comment #18 from stefan.fent@novell.com 2006-12-21 01:51 MST ------- No, as then it would only write on the first disk, sda in this case. sdb will be left untouched, so if sda fails, there is no grub at all on the new sda (old sdb). The problem here is not stage1, but stage 2 that is located in the filesystem, and stage2 stores the blocks where some part of it is located. So if you mirror it on different partitions, say sda1 and sdb3 (so there for sure are different blocks) and stage2 from sda1 gets mirrored to sdb3 this data is lost for sdb3. Means: The stage2 files must be different, if stored on different blocks. (Which will be corrected by the RAID and thus leads to an unbootable system) Stage1 is either located in the MBR, or in the boot record of the partition, both are not touched by the filesystem (except xfs) and thus not changed by the RAID. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
