<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi, folks,<br>
<br>
i have a suggestion for enhancement of the 'update-grub' utility:<br>
<br>
Make the token 'groot' accept a list of devices instead of a single
device only, aka groot=(hd0,0),(hd1,0) or similar.<br>
For each device in the list, the appropriate boot selection entries
should be produced when updating menu.lst<br>
<br>
Why? I got several machines running the system from a
software-mirrored set of disks.<br>
When one disk goes corrupt, i would like to boot from the remaining one.<br>
Given that grub is installed correctly on both disks, i need a boot
entry for every disk in the set,<br>
because doing a boot using the grub shell is possible, but annoying.<br>
<br>
Do you consider this a reasonable enhancement?<br>
<br>
Your's Andreas<br>
