Well, it works well enough for me at the moment, but it's not complete. _How_ complete it will get depends on how thoroughly you want grub to search for possible partition maps, lvm and raid layouts, etc... > By the way I don't think that LVM on LVM is actually supported by LVM > itself, and raid on LVM is an unlikely scenario. Fair enough--LVM on raid is pretty common though, well I have a few systems that use it at least. Of course, they all have a separate filesystem for /boot that is on RAID-1, so that grub-legacy can boot them. :) -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
