Hi,
When I perform a software RAID 1 or RAID 5 installation on a LAN server
with several hard disks, I wonder if GRUB already gets installed on each
individual MBR, or if I have to do that manually. On CentOS 5.x and 6.x,
this had to be done like this:
# grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd1)
grub> quit
I'd like my server to be able to boot a degraded software RAID after an
eventual hard disk failure.
Any suggestions?

I have an aging FC14 (!!!!) system, w/ mdadm RAID partitions. I have
/boot setup as mdadm RAID1's, 2 drives (actually partitions). Machine
boots AOK, & I believe it does (& maintains) that setup automatically. I
got that recommendation from a mailing list ages ago, can't remember
where, sorry. $0.02, no more, no less ....
