[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Hans, or anyone else affected,

Accepted grub-installer into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-
installer/1.128ubuntu8.18.04.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

Title:
  grub-installer raid handling code missing nvme from sed filter

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in grub-installer source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in grub-installer source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Installs on NVMe hardware, on RAID deployments (RAID made of NVMe devices).

  [Test case]
  - Install Ubuntu on NVMe drives, configure the drives in RAID.

  [Regression potential]
  Attention should be taken to the behavior of installs, especially on RAID arrays: given the changes to the device matching, failure to recognize some devices that should be part of the RAID array, or to see devices outside of the RAID array when they were not added to the array, should be investigated as potential regressions coming from this change.

  --

  It appears that Ubuntu patched grub-installer to handle raid arrays,
  duplicating some sed filters from earlier parts of the code.  Debian
  probably added nvme to the earlier parts but the duplicate in the
  Ubuntu specific raid code did not get the same update.  It needs the
  same update, and probably the whole raid handling part needs
  upstreamed to Debian.
