Aha - an 'in the wild' example of why we should deprecate '0.9 1.0 1.1, 1.2' and
rename the superblocks to data-version + on-disk-location :)
Even if renamed, I'd still need a Clue as to why to prefer one scheme
over the other. For example, I've now learned that if I want to set up a
RAID1 /boot, it must actually be 1.2 or grub won't be able to read it.
(I would therefore argue that if the new version ever becomes default,
then the default sub-version ought to be 1.2.)
As to the wiki: I am not certain I found the Wiki you're referring to; I
did find others, and none had the ringing clarity of Peter's definitive
"RAID10 won't work for /boot."
The process I'm going through -- cloning an old amd-k7 server into a new
amd64 server -- is something I will document, and this particular grub
issue is one of the things I intend to mention. So, where is this Wiki
of which you speak?
