Hi, Philip. I've used the same method of installing to a partitioned "md" RAID for many years on non-EFI 'legacy' systems, or on systems with EFI disabled and I've not had any problems doing the steps manually. The problem was that the installer crashed when it tried to install GRUB to multiple disks that were RAID members. After the installer crashed, I just did the GRUB installation manually without any problems. All "md" RAIDs are partitionable since the 2.6 Linux kernel. The Debian installer and Ubuntu 'alternative' installer both insist on creating separate RAIDs for each filesystem, when installing to RAID. However, this makes subsequent management of an instance much more complicated because all of the RAIDs need to be stopped etc. before a drive can be removed/replaced. This is a single operation using a partitioned RAID. I don't believe it's at all unusual to partition "md" RAIDs, and it might be awkward to boot off a disk unless the RAID is created from partitions anyway. Indeed, you are warned about this when creating an "md" RAID, but I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on :-) Bye, Tony. -- Minke Informatics Limited, Registered in Scotland - Company No. SC419028 Registered Office: 3 Donview, Bridge of Alford, AB33 8QJ, Scotland (UK) tel. +44(0)19755 63548 http://minke-informatics.co.uk mob. +44(0)7985 078324 mailto:[email protected] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723633 Title: Can't install to md RAID1 in EFI mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1723633/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
