Make a partition over /dev/hda[ab] which is as big as your disks and then just make the RAID over /dev/hda[ab]1 instead. You can still use partitions over the RAID. Grub2 supports this. > And what about to create first partition on the mirror (/dev/md_d0p1) with > 64kb offset instead of creating such partition on the array member's > (i.e. /dev/hda1)? Is it right way? I don't know if it would work. grub-setup checks the partition table stored in MBR if it's able to embed or not. But AFAIK the RAID 0.90 superblock is stored at the end of the disk not at the beginning. -- Felix Zielcke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
