Thanks.
This saves me time. But will cost more. :)
One to further digging.

I just discovered that the HP Proliant gen8 does not have UEFI

So should I skip the older gen8 boxen and go with the gen10?
Or is it better, for RAID to avoid UEFI and get the older, cheaper
gen8?
Hardware which doesn't support UEFI is probably going to have issues
with EL8 or EL9 kernel in other ways (aka older megaraid or similar
controller no longer supported) etc. Going from the web pages on HP (
https://techlibrary.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/supportmatrix/redhat_linux.aspx
), the Gen8 only supports RHEL 6 and RHEL 7. I am going to bet
everything from network card to hard drive controller is EOL in EL8
and above on a Gen8.
thanks

Hi Jack,
I'm sorry to bother you during holidays.
I encountered a strange problem installing AlmaLinux 9.1 on a
RAID1
(MDADM) with the current configuration:
- /boot/efi on md125
- swap on md126
- / on md127
My limited understanding is that RAID on EFI has been something
of a hack as the backing store that EFI uses is a slightly
modified VFAT. What happens is that there is some code to 'clone'
the data across but it isn't really RAID1. My guess is that
something in the 9.1 kernel broke that hack. Could you try CentOS
Stream 9 kernel (you can install that with your existing Alma or
Rocky system) and see if the problem still occurs? If it does
then it is a bug that needs to be tracked upstream at
bugzilla.redhat.com <http://bugzilla.redhat.com> and if it
doesn't then it should have been fixed in an upcoming kernel. You
could continue to then use the CS9 kernel until whatever works in
Alma/Rocky 9
trimmed bottom.
