[Bug 1315344] Re: Grub install failed on disks with software RAID

[Helge Meinhard]

Thanks for your swift reply. The machine is in my office; it is
currently running Saucy, I can't reboot Trusty before Monday. Are these
commands run under Saucy (with its root on md0) useful?

Cheers,

Helge

Title:
  Grub install failed on disks with software RAID

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've got two 2TB drives set up with identical partitions, which are combined into RAID1 arrays (five mirrors across the two disks).
  On a free RAID1 I've installed Trusty 64bit from the Desktop installer ("try Ubuntu" first, install mdadm, run mdadm --assemble --scan, then start installer). I then wanted grub to be installed onto /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, but both fail.
