BIOS Boot partition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

I did a f24 installation using swraid on 4TB disks (predefined swraid
because I am still unhappy with complex tasks and the level disk
abstraction in anaconda, but thats not the point).

I was not able to write bios boot twice (sda and sdb), it was only
written on sda (there is plenty of space on sdb as well).
Anaconda partitioner did not allow to define two biosboot partitions.

Now I want to make the setup fully redundant (booting even without
sda) and so I need to setup biosboot on sdb as well.

With gparted I can create the 1 MB partition on sdb but it does not
support type bios boot.
blivet does not support creating a 1MB partion on sdb as far as I can
see.

Any other tools to write biosboot partions?

Workaround might be: create an unformatted partition in gparted and
copy biosboot to it (dd from sda-partition or is there a source file
anywhere in the filesystem?)

Are there any grub2 actions required afterwards?

Any other ideas?

Greetings
Oliver
