stretch and grub on LVM

[Sven Schumacher]

Hi Thomas,

shouldn't grub be installed in the mbr of the used harddrives (e.g. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb) of the lvm, if / is on lvm-volumes?
IMHO the grub.cfg etc should be in /boot/grub (so no problem while /boot has its own partition - /boot inside the lvm-Volume might be inaccessable for grub)

Have a nice day

Sven
