Soft RAID and EFI systems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

On EFI systems I'd like to RAID mirror /boot partition.

For HW RAID there's no issue since access to the disk or any
partitions should be totally transparent to the bios.

For Fake RAID, I'm not sure but I would say that the bios is able to
read the RAID metadata as well.

For (md) Soft RAID, I don't know. I would say that the bios is
unlikely to understand the md metadata stored in the /boot partition
so it won't work.
Is that correct ?
If so does that mean I can't mirror /boot partition on EFI systems ?
Maybe creating a RAID device using the whole disk (not the partition
device) would work ?

Thanks for your enlightments.
