Felix, if you are reading this, thank you for your work. Vladimir, thank
you for following up on this report (and the others).

To be honest I have not dared to replug the other disk and so only one
disk is used since over two years. I am quite reluctant to reattach the
other disk fearing again some errors with GRUB or problems with
reassembling the RAID.

Could you please point me to a write up how this is supposed to work
anyhow. On the running disk I now have the current GRUB version
1.99~rc1-8 running and on the unplugged disk with the GRUB version from
two and a half year ago. When both are plugged in how does the system
decide which one to use?


Thanks,

Paul
