Hi!
I am absolutely aware that this question must have been asked a zillion times
but I still need to ask:
What is the "preferred" way to install grub (-legay|-pc) on a
LVM-on-RAID-system with a separate boot-partition?
The disk_config looks like this:
# example of new config file for setup-storage
# <type> <mountpoint> <size> <fs type> <mount options> <misc options>
disk_config sda bootable:1
primary - 250 - -
primary - 1500- - -
disk_config sdb bootable:1
primary - 250 - -
primary - 1500- - -
disk_config raid
raid1 /boot sda1,sdb1 ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro
raid1 - sda2,sdb2 - -
disk_config lvm
vg host md1
host-root / 250- ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro
host-swap swap 250-1000 swap sw
host-var /var 500-2G ext3 rw createopts="-m15" tuneopts="-c0 -i0"
host-tmp /tmp 250-1000 ext3 rw createopts="-m1" tuneopts="-c0 -i0"
host-usr /usr 500-3G ext3 rw tuneopts="-c0 -i0"
host-home /home 100-2G ext3 rw,nosuid createopts="-m1" tuneopts="-c0 -i10"
In fai-3.2.20.1 I added the class "NOMBR" which at least gave me a
booting system but grub failed to install into sdb. (So I had to
manually install grub into sdb).
The only (really relevant) things I've found regarding RAID+GRUB are:
[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.fai/6080/focus=6087
[2] http://faiwiki.informatik.uni-koeln.de/index.php/Setup-storage
I also just installed fai-3.3.2 and updated my config with the
examples provided by "fai-doc".
And I also just tried "GRUB_PC" which failed to install a working boot
menu. (I have to admit: I am completely new to grub-pc and never used
it before so it may need aditional tweaking.)
So to make a long question short and before struging any further: does
anyone have a working setup and can point me into the right direction,
please?! (Does FAI+lilo+RAID+LVM work?)
Thx for any help!
Greetings,
- Darsha
