[00:59] hey [00:59] I suspect this question has come up in the past but I haven't found a sufficient answer for it so far [01:00] Is there any reason the server installer doesn't allow me to use a mdadm raid1 with 0.90 metadata as ESP device? === genii is now known as genii-core [01:01] I have a Debian machine that boots that way (granted I had to fix booting because the Debian installer also couldn't figure out where to put boot stuff, but in the end of the day this is a bootable config) [01:02] config - 2 disks, each disk formatted GPT, part 1 256M mdraid1 vfat ESP, part 2 rest mdraid1 btrfs (yes I know that I could have done raid1 at the btrfs level) [01:03] KeeperoftheKeys: if I've understood correctly, it's because the filesystem in question can be modified from other operating systems or from the uefi boot environment itself, and would therefore bust your raid; dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc or grub-efi-amd64 or something like that should make it possible to install into two filesystems and keep some semblance of redundancy there [01:05] you mean that the UEFI env might write to only one of the 2 drives? [01:06] (thanks for the quick response :)) [01:07] well, the esp is shared between operating systems and even the bios [01:07] I install a uefi shell and firmware updates using it [01:07] but anything done outside of linux won't be able to mount the mdadm raid and keep it in sync [01:07] if you never plan to, ya, mdadm would be accaptable [01:08] or just let grub do it's thing, and your always be bootable to ubuntu, just not maybe anything else that is custom added to the esp partition [01:08] for me it would be in linux or EFI so the moment the OS was booted change would sync over [01:09] if I add both disks as boot disks like most tutorials suggest what is making sure that both /boot/efi and /boot partitions remain in sync? [01:09] (instead of mdraid) [01:11] mdadm should make sure boot partition is [01:11] but grub would do it's normal thing for efi [01:12] it won't make sure both are in sync [01:12] it would make sure the ubuntu entry in both boots grub [01:13] ok will try that, don't feel like fighting more with the installer now like I did with my Debian install the other day === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy [11:28] dbungert: I have filed the "bug" as you wanted (maybe it's not a bug).
