surely, a workaround would have been switch the cables so that the first
disk is the one which still has grub
grub is at the begin of the drive outisde the array itself and so for
real working redundacy and i posted you days ago my script for drive
replacemnets which clearly installs grub on the new one
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /scripts/raid-recovery.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
GOOD_DISK="/dev/sda"
BAD_DISK="/dev/sdd"
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "NOT NOW"
exit
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# clone MBR
dd if=$GOOD_DISK of=$BAD_DISK bs=512 count=1
# force OS to read partition tables
partprobe $BAD_DISK
# start RAID recovery
mdadm /dev/md0 --add ${BAD_DISK}1
mdadm /dev/md1 --add ${BAD_DISK}2
mdadm /dev/md2 --add ${BAD_DISK}3
# print RAID status on screen
sleep 5
cat /proc/mdstat
# install bootloader on replacement disk
grub2-install "$BAD_DISK"
