I recently installed suse 10.3 on a server that has two scsi drives set
up as a RAID1 array for the OS. While checking the system, I noticed
that the mirrored drives if booted seperately, would only load the
bootloader on sda and not on sdb. After a lot of searching on the web,
I finally discovered that when you create a RAID1 array, the MBR only
gets written to on sda, making sdb a non (easily) bootable device, if
sda happened to fail. Being a total beginner, I had no idea this would
occur, and would wish the setup documentation would do a better job of
reflecting this problem, and it’s solution. Other than that it’s great,
I even installed Suse on an old laptop at home (XP won’t even run on it
anymore, but Suse 11.0 runs perfect).
