I don't understand why grub is complaining about the position of metadata, because metadata are at the end of the partition, for sure (the installer correctly defaults to metadata v1.0). Is there still a bug or am I missing something?
Yes the intention is to ensure the use of metadata format which places superblock at end of the partition. I added the complaining because it is also what would be complained by mdadm that one may have encountered.
localhost:~ # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/vdb1 /dev/vdc1 mdadm: Note: this array has metadata at the start and may not be suitable as a boot device. If you plan to store '/boot' on this device please ensure that your boot-loader understands md/v1.x metadata, or use --metadata=0.90 Continue creating array? ^C
But you're right, version 1.0 also have its metadata at end of partition. I was misled by above mdadm note, as it only explicitly suggesting metadata 0.90. For that I will have to work on and provide another test package. Sorry for the trouble, but I think we are getting close to complete the fix now (hopefully).
Thanks in advance!
