| davmor2 | cjwatson, ev: did you guys get my note re the install language yesterday? | 11:44 |
| ev | davmor2: yes, but I'm a bit all over the place today | 11:46 |
| ev | I'll endeavor to get to it tomorrow | 11:47 |

| davmor2 | ev: No problems I was just double checking as I logged off not log after | 11:47 |
| davmor2 | long even | 11:48 |
| ev | ah, thanks for following up | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | ev: have tentatively assigned those to you. (I only care because they're marked as oem-priority bugs) | 12:09 |
| ev | okay | 12:09 |
| ev | straightforward enough | 12:09 |
| ev | on it nowish | 12:09 |

| tjaalton | what device should grub-installer use when installing lucid on a softraid mirror? | 12:32 |
| cjwatson | I don't unambiguously know what softraid means. Do you mean mdadm or dmraid? | 12:34 |
| tjaalton | because it's using /dev/sda and fails, but I can't figure out which one to use for a manual run | 12:34 |
| tjaalton | mdadm AIUI | 12:34 |
| tjaalton | there are three partitions that are mirrored, and those are /dev/md{0,1,2} | 12:34 |
| cjwatson | you should normally install GRUB to all the disks containing the array | 12:34 |
| cjwatson | e.g. /dev/sda /dev/sdb | 12:35 |
| tjaalton | the dialog shows that, but the logs say that it only tried /dev/sda AFAICS | 12:35 |
| tjaalton | though I don't have a proper log right now, bleh | 12:35 |
| tjaalton | but it failed nevertheless | 12:36 |
| tjaalton | they are 2TB disks, does size matter ?-) | 12:36 |
| CIA-88 | grub-installer: cjwatson * r878 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.57ubuntu2 | 12:36 |
| cjwatson | I'd rather analyse a log than speculate ... | 12:36 |
| tjaalton | right | 12:36 |
| tjaalton | I have the installation ready, so I could chroot and run grub-installer, right? | 12:37 |
| tjaalton | running from another disk atm | 12:37 |
| cjwatson | you can't run grub-installer manually. you can run grub-install manually if you make sure /dev /proc /sys are bind-mounted | 12:39 |
| tjaalton | yeah, I'll give it a go | 12:41 |
| tjaalton | root@fermaatti:/# LANG=C grub-install --no-floppy --force /dev/sdb | 12:49 |
| tjaalton | /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. | 12:49 |
| tjaalton | that's how it fails | 12:49 |
| cjwatson | exactly 2TB or >2TB? | 12:50 |
| cjwatson | and are you preseeding the partitioner? | 12:50 |
| tjaalton | exactly, and no preseeding | 12:50 |
| tjaalton | I did it like instructed on https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html | 12:51 |
| tjaalton | manually | 12:51 |
| cjwatson | you'll need to create BIOS Boot Partitions then | 12:51 |
| tjaalton | ok | 12:51 |
| cjwatson | or use expert mode to work around the slight boundary-case bug that it uses GPT for >=2TB rather than for >2TB | 12:51 |
| tjaalton | the partitioner did leave some empty space there iirc | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | you need an actual partition on GPT, not just empty space | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | the partitioner calls it "Reserved BIOS boot area" | 12:52 |
| tjaalton | ah, alright | 12:52 |
| tjaalton | I found some bugs that are related, will have a look at them | 12:53 |
| tjaalton | btw, why does that help page suggest running "grub-install /dev/md*" after replacing a faulty drive? it complains that installing to a partition is a bad idea.. | 12:59 |
| cjwatson | error I think | 13:01 |
| tjaalton | btw, i used the alternate installer so it's already "expert mode", and it shouldn't have used GPT in the first place? | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | the alternate installer is not already expert mode. | 13:01 |
| tjaalton | ok | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | it arguably shouldn't have used GPT although it's a bit of a toss-up - people are going to have to get used to GPT soon enough anyway | 13:01 |
| cjwatson | so I'm not all that worried about the exact boundary case | 13:02 |
| tjaalton | right | 13:03 |
| tjaalton | just the documentation needs a refresh ;) | 13:03 |
