I've got the same problem at home with my RAID5 in GPT partitions, GRUB sees the whole disk as RAID however I have 3 partitions on each. Because of mdadm.conf it is OK but I guess type 0xFD on standard MBR would fail too. I had a discussion with the GRUB team of checking partitions first then whole disk and was referred to this list to see if it is how we should proceed or not. > > If you use 1.0 (or 1;1 or 1.2) metadata this problem will disappear. > > NeilBrown > -- 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
