We must be using very different d-is! I've never seen an option to create a partitioned mdraid array for either squeeze or wheezy. Furthermore, grub2 in squeeze cannot recognize partitioned mdraid arrays; squeeze has grub2 version 1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1 and partitioned mdraid support was introduced in version 1.99-1. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
