So the user would have to pin grub to its currently installed version or completely refrain from upgrading the system, until the dead drive gets replaced... Frankly speaking, I don't like to inflict this on users, let alone putting big warnings that say "do *not* upgrade grub, unless your RAID array is completely working!". It looks very fragile: a system waiting for a good opportunity to break, just because the user forgot to do something and went on with the usual upgrades. I still fail to see where's the problem with mounting multiple ESPs on multiple /boot/efi* mount points: it seems to me that we would have (almost) nothing to lose and everything to gain. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
