I have a F16 system (which had been upgraded from F15) that is running RAID-1 for all volumes. I have notice that GRUB2 is only on /dev/sda but not on /dev/sdb
[root@wisdom boot]# file - < /dev/sda /dev/stdin: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0xfd, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 785137 sectors; partition 2: ID=0xfd, starthead 0, startsector 787185, 15631245 sectors; partition 3: ID=0xfd, starthead 0, startsector 16418430, 8000370 sectors; partition 4: ID=0x5, starthead 254, startsector 24418800, 1929101265 sectors, code offset 0x63 [root@wisdom boot]# file - < /dev/sdb /dev/stdin: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x842a9; partition 1: ID=0xfd, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 785137 sectors; partition 2: ID=0xfd, starthead 0, startsector 787185, 15631245 sectors; partition 3: ID=0xfd, starthead 0, startsector 16418430, 8000370 sectors; partition 4: ID=0x5, starthead 254, startsector 24418800, 1929101265 sectors, code offset 0x63 My concern is if I were to loose /dev/sda I want to be able to boot via /dev/sdb. I have tried running: [root@wisdom boot]# grub2-install /dev/sdb --no-floppy Installation finished. No error reported. but there is no change in what file reports. Both disks are identical (same model) and the partition table was duplicated with "sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb" Or am I reading the output from file wrong and its actually /dev/sda that doesn't have grub2 installed on it?
