Hello Justin,<br>
<br>
thanks for the quick answer.<br>
<br>
I tried to use your disk_config. And I get a a raid as expected.<br>
But the script for settign up grup [ config/scipts/GRUP_EFI/10-setup
] fails.<br>
Hence I end up with a system tha can not boot.<br>
<br>
What I find in [ scripts.log ]:<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<font face="monospace">===== shell: GRUB_EFI/10-setup =====<br>
...<br>
+ echo Install grub on /dev/sda<br>
+ unshare --pid --fork --kill-child <br>
--mount-proc chroot /target grub-install <br>
--no-floppy --force-extra-removable /dev/sda<br>
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.<br>
grub-install: error: disk `md0' not found.<br>
++ error=1<br>
...<br>
Install grub on /dev/sdb<br>
+ unshare --pid --fork --kill-child <br>
--mount-proc chroot /target grub-install <br>
--no-floppy --force-extra-removable /dev/sdb<br>
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.<br>
grub-install: error: disk `md0' not found.<br>
++ error=1<br>
...<br>
done<br>
+ exit 1<br>
GRUB_EFI/10-setup FAILED with exit code 1.</font><br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
So my question is: Have you twaked [ GRUP_EFI/10-setup ] ?<br>
How can I fix this error? <br>
Why is the script telling me it uses [sda] for installation bun then
trying [md0]?<br>
<br>
Perhaps some of the envirenment-variables might help, so I list a
few:<br>
<font face="monospace">FAI_VERSION=6.0.5<br>
disklist='sda sdb '</font><br>
<br>

<div>There's probably a few different ways to do this. Here is
a fairly generic disk_config example I created last time I was
working on FAI.</div>
<div>I haven't used the config n a while, but it's should be

<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>
