[Bug 1545299] Re: executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed

[Phillip Susi]

You are using a fake raid but tried to install grub to a single drive (
/dev/sda ).  You must never access the individual drives and instead
need to install grub to /dev/mapper/isw_djbfggjdif_RAID5_Storage.  In
addition, you appear to be using Linux only and LVM on the array, so I
would recommend you stay away from the fake raid entirely and stick with
conventional linux software raid instead, as it is better supported and
has fewer pitfalls.
