Hi, as usual, having a question....
Say I have a raid 1, disks A and B in mirroring, Say A dies, and I =
replace it with C. How can I make grub write the MBR to C so that in =
case B also dies I can still boot from C?
Know it's a simple question, but I tried grub-install /dev/hdc or =
/dev/md0 (where the boot partition is) and I just get errors. I am now =
trying to move to lilo, but I am scared to write the MBR of the last =
good disk I have.=20
Help really appreciated, it looks like I'll be working all night :-(
Thanks,=20
Simone
