Package: grub
Version: 0.91-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi Robert,
I boot my Debian system from a RAID1 device. It would be nice if
update-grub could write more than one root devices (e.g.
# groot=(hd0,0) (hd1,0))
into menu.lst. So I have a backup for booting whenever the
first disk fails.
Attached is a patch to implement this feature. (The important part is
just the "for kroot in $groot ; do", "done" and using $kroot instead
of $groot. All other stuff is just differences in the number of
whitespaces.)
Cheers,
Stephan

Hi,
Support for software RAID, which is (hopefuly) the right way to implement what
you wanted, has been recently added to grub2.
Stephan, would you please test it and report ?
I'm closing this bug, since it contains information about a feature we aren't
going to provide (unless there are more convincing reasons to do it). If
grub2 RAID doesn't work for you, please file another bug in that package.
Thank you
