Bug#192982: update-grub and md drives

[Karl Schmidt]

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=192982

I was looking into this bug and realized it was probably a srcipt that could be patched.

Looking at the bug report it looks like there are patches inline (not a good idea) in the 
last posts that might work, but I don't see a version number of grub tha one would apply 
this patch to?

And - this patch would only work if / was on /dev/md0 (I seem to have / dev/md2 on several 
systems)


Anyway as this bug is over a year old now produces a non bootable system I would hope that 
someone would add the following at the top of the update-grub script for now -- perhaps some 
kind soul that is a better scripter than me will fix the script later.

if grep ' / ' /etc/fstab|grep /dev/md
         then
                 echo "grub can't figure out md root drives yet and will hose your menu.lst 
file"
                 echo " aborting update-grub - do it by hand"
                 echo " "
                 exit 1
fi
