Correct that's why i've also tried to install it on sda / sdb but then grub complains about not finding any partition table. > That said, if your system is EFI based, I suspect you will need to have > the bios_grub partition on the physical drives so the BIOS can read it. > It's not going to do much good having it on the raid partition if the > BIOS isn't able to read those. The bios is not the problem - grub simply does not want to install it boot sector to sda / sdb. It does it fine when using metadata 0.9.
