But I have one Question more. Is this also the same Problem with the GPT Table. I make a Test installation before, with dmraid for the Raid1. The /home Directory on the Raid1, all other on the SSD. After the Installation the most time the System have a Problem to mount the "/home" or a other Partition on the Raid1 and fall down in the repair mode. But the good thing from this, Grub2 found my Windows 7 Installation on the Raid1 and Make a Start Entry, with mdadm this is not working, Grub2 don't found the windows? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards.
