TL;DR: IMO having /boot/uefi on (sw) RAID1 is not worth the headaches. Long version follows. That's quite normal. You should use older RAID format that places metadata at the end of the partition instead of the newer that places it at the beginning. And even so it's risky, since one of the partitions could get modified by other systems (the BIOS, for example) that aren't RAID-aware (that's also one of the reasons that lead to the newer format...). Since you're using FAI, it's probably faster to just completely reinstall the system (possibly preserving data partition(s)) than risking RAID desync and related headaches. To keep the disk partitions aligned, you could use the "mirror" space for an extra swap partition :) Diego Il 20/09/2023 09:26, Andrew Ruthven ha scritto: > Hey, > > Just a note that I've found that some hardware doesn't like /boot/efi > being on RAID1.
