Public bug reported: I booted on Ubuntu 14.04.1 Desktop 64 bit (using the USB), went to ry Ubuntu and partition the 2 HDD (SATA 320GB) as I wanted, which is:
- 2x 512MB as RAID1 (md) w/ ext4 for /boot - 2x 6GB as RAID0 (md) for swap - 2x 64GB as RAID1 (md) + 1 Logical Volume (LVM2) using all available space with ext4 as / - 2x remainder space as BTRFS RAID1 configuration for /home Why so complex? I had first only the /boot and swap on software RAID, the rest was under BTRFS with 2 volumes (for home and for /), but it was problematic to boot. So I "moved" the / to another more classical partition scheme using mdadm and lvm. But it does not work. I did this to at least get grub-install to report no blocking error: sudo -s echo raid1 >> /target/etc/modules echo dm-mod >> /target/etc/modules echo dm-snapshot >> /target/etc/modules echo dm-mirror >> /target/etc/modules echo raid1 >> /target/etc/initramfs-tools/modules echo dm-mod >> /target/etc/initramfs-tools/modules echo dm-snapshot >> /target/etc/initramfs-tools/modules echo dm-mirror >> /target/etc/initramfs-tools/modules mount --bind /dev /target/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /target/dev/pts mount --bind /proc /target/proc mount --bind /sys /target/sys chroot /target grub-install /dev/sda chroot /target grub-install /dev/sdb The command grub-install is outputing in both cases this: Installing for i386-pc platform. You have a memory leak (not released memory pool): [0x1b765f0] dtree Internal error: Unreleased memory pool(s) found. You have a memory leak (not released memory pool): [0x1b774f0] dtree Internal error: Unreleased memory pool(s) found. You have a memory leak (not released memory pool): [0x1b79a70] dtree Internal error: Unreleased memory pool(s) found. Installation finished. No error reported. I will report after reboot if it worked or not.
