Hello. I am trying to get a ZFS system configured with debian on sparc64.
First attempts suggested that I wouldn't be able to get grub to load directly
out of ZFS, in part because I need to use sun disk labels, and the OBP likely
can't load grub out of ZFS anyway. So, I've built a small software RAID1 on
the first two disks, to be /boot, and plan the rest of the disks as a zraid
volume.
So, I have a md raid across two partitions on two sun-labeled disks. Each
looks:
root@t5120:~# parted /dev/sda print
Model: SEAGATE ST914603SSUN146G (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 147GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: sun
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Flags
1 8225kB 502MB 494MB ext4 raid
2 502MB 147GB 146GB zfs
But, grub-install to /dev/sda1 (or /dev/sdb1) doesn't work. I get the following
error about md0, despite md0 clearly working, as I have it mounted in /boot
in the chroot I'm operating in:
root@t5120:~# grub-probe -d /dev/sda1
ext2
root@t5120:~# grub-install /dev/sda1
Installing for sparc64-ieee1275 platform.
grub-install: error: disk `md0' not found.
root@t5120:~# df /boot
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 458396 37100 393108 9% /boot
root@t5120:~#
I'm having trouble finding pointers that aren't GPT or MBR based by web
searching. Anyone here have familarity with any of:
* GRUB on sparc
* GRUB on ZFS
* GRUB on md RAID1
Thanks...
- Chris
