Ah, right. When he mentioned RAIDing the boot, I took that to mean the EFI partitions. Forgot that he as using a separate /boot. So I took a look at the grub-installer script, and guess what I found as a comment just before the `ls` that kills it? --- # XXX cjwatson 2019-03-25: This is all far too complicated and fragile, and # should be replaced with in-target or similar. # Ensure proc is mounted in all the $chroot calls; # needed for RAID+LVM for example initial_proc_contents="$(ls $ROOT/proc)" --- "Far too complicated and fragile", indeed! -- Dave Sherohman
