Hello,
I am experimenting with BTRFS and RAID1 on my Debian Wheezy (with
backported kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64) using a a motherboard with UEFI.
However I haven't managed to make the system boot when the removing the
first hard drive.
I have installed Debian with the following partition on the first hard
drive (no BTRFS subsystem):
/dev/sda1: for / (BTRFS)
/dev/sda2: for /home (BTRFS)
/dev/sda3: for swap
Then I added another drive for a RAID1 configuration (with btrfs
balance) and I installed grub on the second hard drive with
"grub-install /dev/sdb".
If I boot on sdb, it takes sda1 as the root filesystem
If I switched the cable, it always take the first hard drive as the
root filesystem (now sdb)
If I disconnect /dev/sda, the system doesn't boot with a message
saying that it hasn't found the UUID:
Scanning for BTRFS filesystems...
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/c64fca2a-5700-4cca-abac-3a61f2f7486c on /root
failed: Invalid argument
Can you tell me what I have done incorrectly ?
Is it because of UEFI ? If yes I haven't understood how I can correct
it in a simple way.
As extra question, I don't see also how I can configure the system to
get the correct swap in case of disk failure. Should I force both swap partition
to have the same UUID ?
Many thanks in advance !
