I tried to install Ubuntu server 22.04 (even with the latest daily version 24.04) using the autoinstall process, to get a bootable raid 1 configuration, using two 2TB m2 disks.
The process keeps crashing at the point where it needs to install grub on the EFI partition.
I have tried different configurations for creating the raid, using both disks and partitions as devices, but to no avail, it fails to make the raid bootable.
So the question for you guys is:, how can I set up my storage to have a bootable raid 1 configuration? I guess someone has already positively addressed this problem...
The storage section I am using, with all my attempts, is as follows:
#cloud-config
autoinstall:
version: 1
storage:
grub:
reorder_uefi: false
config:
