You're welcome. Side note: It looks like lsdrv couldn't find the pvs and lvs utilities to fully document your LVM setup. I'd be interested in knowing which distro and version that environment was. > Now I have a new disk, same size, as sda with sda1 partition - same size - > formatted as Linux raid autodetect. > In the end I like to end up with the new sda1 as member of md0 and I need to put > my boot information there, since sdb1, also member of md0, seems to no have no > such info because the system wasn't booting with a missing sda1. >From what I can see from your report, you probably only need to do grub-install /dev/sda and grub-install /dev/sdb The boot partition is mirrored for the bulk of grub's data, which means normal upgrades and config changes "just work", but a new drive needs a bootloader. That is outside the array in the space before the first partition. > I am afraid of loosing data, so I prefer asking, what to do next. > Please guide, I have the system up and running on a sysrescd live distro. I presume that means you booted a rescue CD and then used chroot to get a command prompt in your installed system. If not, grub-install probably won't work. Note that some distros use grub2-install. If the above doesn't work, let us know what it says.
