Grub vs Lilo

2006-07-27 Thread Lewis Shobbrook
Hi All, Wondering if anyone can comment on an easy way to get grub to update all components in a raid1 array. I have a raid1 /boot with a raid10 /root and have previously used lilo with the raid-extra-boot option to install to boot sectors of all component devices. With grub it appears that
