Okay, here's some useful (and promising) info on the latest grub. My test machine only has one disk, so it's kind of hard (though maybe not impossible) to test to see if the newly fixed software RAID 1 problem has truly been fixed. But I do have a relatively unused, fully updated FC3 machine that I'm using software RAID 1 on with two SCSI disks. It was an install (not upgrade) of FC3 where I set up /dev/md0 (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1) as /boot and with the root and swap partitions being logical volumes sliced from a volume group that has /dev/md1 as it's only PV (which consist of /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2). I did an 'rpm -Fvh grub-0.95-12.i386.rpm' and then ran 'grub-install --recheck /dev/md0', rebooted, and prepared to eat crow. Thankfully, I won't need to stuff myself with that obscure poultry dish. (At least, not yet. :-/) Writing it to /dev/md0 (/boot) is a bit odd, though, as normally when installing to the boot sector, you like to install to a non-partition device file, but the question is, how else can you do it when you've added partitions to all your md devices and have no md devices with full disk devices in it? So installing to the device which contains /boot probably is the most sane thing to do. Question is, am I deceiving myself? Am I still actually using the old grub installed on the boot sector of /dev/sda? -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
