In fact, my experience is that grub-install does not work with RAID1 /boot partitions at all out of the box. With lilo, it will automatically make the mirrors of RAID 1 both bootable and active with a boot image after lilo is executed. You can literally kill either drive and still be able to boot into the degraded one. In order to do this with grub, the boot image must be installed onto both drives manually, or it must be patched as Bill described. > >I think that there are thousands of people successfully >running Fedora and a few people that are struggling can >mislead others into thinking that there are some problematic >issues with the defaults but typically, they have varied from >the defaults. > No one is being misled here. In fact, my implementation only uses stable Fedora rpms from the base and update repositories. David is implementing a good solution. I was using lilo on both FC1 and FC2 without problems. In fact, it never really made much sense to me for Fedora to offer RAID during the install and then not provide a valid RAID-compatible boot image automatically across all drives (it did on FC1 because lilo was still an option). Maybe grub2 will prove more promising. -- Shawn
