Hello, few days ago I returned from FreeBSD where I was using ZFS/GPT disks in raid-1 array back to (Arch)Linux and installed syslinux as bootloader for booting from single MBR disk. Now, after I finished with migration of my /home data, I'd like to deploy both of my 1TB disks using ext4 (btrfs is not stable enough) under LVM2 using raid-1 array & GPT by having all my partitions (/boot, /home, / & swap) in raid-1 array. However, there is one concern which I was not able to resolve 100% in #syslinux as well by using Google: is sylinux capable to boot such GPT disk(s) where /boot is withing raid-1 array with mdadm-1.2 metadata? It seems that GRUB2 can do it, but I'd like to stay with (simpler) syslinux if possible... Sincerely, Gour -- ?In the material world, conceptions of good and bad are all mental speculations??

It looks good-enough so there is no need to move to grub(2). ;) Sincerely, Gour p.s. btw, I see syslinux group listed in Gmane, but zero messages. Anyone wants to re-subscribe it? -- ?In the material world, conceptions of good and bad are all mental speculations??
