Server has a software RAID 1 (sda+sdb) configured as /dev/md0 device.
Later system upgrade was launched and grub updated. Now it promped to select grub unstall devices from the list to finish update:
- /dev/sda
- /dev/sdb
- /dev/md0
What items should be selected in case of RAID 1?
Update. fdisk tells:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 59343 60801 11719417+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2 * 1 59342 476664583+ fd Linux raid autodetect
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 59343 60801 11719417+ fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sdb2 * 1 59342 476664583+ fd Linux raid autodetect
Answer
You should install GRUB to both /dev/sda
and /dev/sdb
, so that both devices are bootable. You want this so that the system will still boot if the first drive which the BIOS boots off fails.
