I think this implies that grub is installed on your RAID 1 (I assume you are talking about a raid 1 /boot partition using the first partition on each disk). This doesn't tell you anything about whether grub has updated the MBR. To install grub on both MBR's I would type (as root): grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> root (hd1,0) grub> setup (hd1) grub> quit I would be interested in what others have to say on this and whether there is a way of specifying a "time out" so if the system can not boot from hd0 it attempts to boot from hd1? (my guess is this would be bios dependant) On 30 September 2011 21:59, Michael Fischer <michael@visv.net> wrote:
Being one of the folks who tries to do the Subject, I recently ran across an old thread on the list which confirmed most of my experience with it, but mentioned that Yast (in the installer mode) might not be putting grub, etc. on both disks' MBR or /boot. After some web-digging, I tried the following:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
Can someone competent in the matter confirm for me that the above does indeed mean that both disks in the array have had a working grub written to both disks, and therefore, in the event of the failure of one drive, the other is indeed bootable into a working system?
If not, why not and what should I do to "fix" the matter.
TIA.
