So I created a RAID0 like your setup. I have md0 as the container and md127 as the RAID0 volume. Fedora 12 installed grub on /dev/md127. The grub version from F12 is 0.97. I was able to rerun grub-install on /dev/md127 successfully. My device map contains: (hd0) /dev/md127 Do you have to use grub2? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
