I have a 2-disk RAID-1 that I set up using the Red Hat 9 installer. My
problem is that pretty much any simulated drive failure makes the system
unbootable. If I power down the machine and remove drive 1, the system
can't find any bootable device. If I set a drive faulty using the
RAIDtools, re-add it, and let the recovery process run the boot loader
seems to get overwritten and I end up with a system hung at "GRUB
loading stage2". Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here? My
guess is that GRUB isn't installed on drive 2, so that removing drive 1
or recovering drive 1 from drive 2 leads to no boot loader, but
shouldn't GRUB have been copied to drive 2 in the mirroring process? How
can I configure my system so that it will still be bootable after a
drive failure?
Thanks for your help.
