Back in 2011-sep-29 There was a problem booting from a raid partition
with raid mdam metadata version 1.2.  There was a workaround - but I'm
trying to update some documentation for wheezy.

It looks like this has not been dealt with?

At issue is working with modern drives that are now larger than 2TB that
require a gpt partition.

I think that currently this still is rather messy.

( Best work around - put your system on a pair of raided SSD using 0.90
metadata and boot off of these smaller drives - plant your large drive
at /home Or where ever ).

Does anyone know if this has changed?

I confirm that software RAID 1 with GPT and metadata version 1.2 is 
bootable on :


- Squeeze grub-pc (amd64)
- Wheezy grub-pc(amd64) and grub-efi(amd64).

Re: Would like a ports mailing list for x32

Would it make sense to just use debian-amd64@?

I would recommend the Lubuntu distribution. It is light on resources, the
gui works in a similar manner to windows and does not have too many easy to
mess up settings.
