<br>
I am rather new to FAI. But I am impresst by this great tool.<br>
Especially by the documentation that commes with it.<br>
<br>
But I am suprised I do not find any working example on how to set up a <br>
simple RAID 1 with UEFI boot.<br>
<br>
I read all the discussions in this mailinglist (found two threads <br>
dealing with the problem).<br>
<br>
I am aware that RAID and UEFI do not get together well due to the fact <br>
that the RAID information is not available at boot-time and [grup] has <br>
to deal with a device [sda] rather than with a partition [md0]. Futher <br>
more [grup] needs a partition with partition type [vfat].<br>
<br>
I can imaging a solution with FAI that needs special one-time treatment <br>
done manualy after FAI hast terminated, but this kills the aim of FAI : <br>
A=fully, A=automated .<br>
<br>
so my question is:<br>
- Can any one supply a solution that manages RAID 1 with UEFI at the <br>
same time?<br>
(I would be sadisfied with a solution where the Partition used by <br>
UEFI-boot is *not* on a RAID.)<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
- Is it realy just not so easy to get RAID and UEFI to work together <br>
because FAI was established at a time where there was no UEFI boot. <br>
Hence the stucture of FAI is not intended to solve this in the first <br>
pace. Attemts to solve this will result in rather ugly workarounds?<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate any helpfull reply.<br>
And thanks again for this great tool.<br>
<br>
