Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
This bug is very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/527401 but different with a twist: I'm running mdraid version 1.0, whereas the above bug explicitly states that the fix is for version 0.9. To recap: # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 # apt-cache policy grub2 grub2: Installed: 1.98-1ubuntu9 Candidate: 1.98-1ubuntu9 Version table: *** 1.98-1ubuntu9 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.98-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages # grub-install --recheck --modules="mdraid raid" /dev/md1 /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. # grub-probe -t fs /boot grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. # grub-install -v grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9) # cat /proc/mdstat md1 : active raid1 sdc1[3] sda1[0] 530100 blocks super 1.0 [3/2] [UU_] NOTE: "super 1.0" above means this is mdraid version 1.0, not 0.9 Comments in bug 527401 (specifically comment 9) suggests that perhaps grub does not (yet?) support raid versions 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 The upshot is that I'm unable to write the MBR and install grub on either /dev/sda, /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc :-( ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701351 Title: grub-install fails to install on a raid1 array -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
