>From what I can tell with UEFI I need to set up a UEFI partition with a FAT format. On my current BIOS system I have a Biosboot 1M, /boot Raid1 200M and / Raid 1 40G. Obviously Grub installs to the mbr, and then installs a bit into Biosboot which can read raids, hence it can read and boot from /boot. Further, from what I can tell, into the UEFI partition can go either a kernel & initramfs with UEFI support, or a "loader" that then loads the kernel. What I am unsure about are... 1) Can the loader/kernel understand md raid? so the / can be in a bog standard raid1 v1.2? 2) I'm guessing I would no longer need the /boot as that would be replaced by what ever was in the UEFI partition? 3) as my "/boot" is currently in a raid 1 my life is simple, should any changes occur they are replicated to the drives I have set up as /boot raid 1, and I installed the mbr portion of boot loader manually on each disk and tested pulling one, and then booting from another.. it worked :-) So I would like to keep things, if not simple, at least less likely to have problems because I forgot to install duplicates of the UEFI on all the disks... so can I use a .90v raid1 on the UEFI partition, then format it as fat... so that all copies of what ever is in the UEFI partition are replicated across the multiple raid1 disks, instead of having to remember to copy what ever is in there manually to ach disk?
