Hi,
I have an Intel NUC6i7KYK with the following components:
- Intel Core i7-6770HQ
- 2x 16GB Crucial DDR4-2133 RAM
- 2x Samsung SSD 960 PRO 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD
- 2x Lexar Jumpdrive S45 USB3.0 64GB USB sticks
I want to try to use the USB sticks with RAID1 for the OS (and reduce writes as much as I can, using tmpfs or similar) and the SSDs with RAID1 for the VMs.
I configured the BIOS to UEFI-only boot mode (no legacy boot) and installed Proxmox VE 5.0 beta1 successfully with ZFS-RAID1 (mdraid not supported by the PVE installer) on the two USB sticks.
Unfortunately, the system does not boot afterwards because the PVE installer does not create UEFI boot entries. Looking at both EFI system partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 from SysRescCd, I could not mount them either. Seems there was no filesystem on them.
When enabling legacy BIOS boot mode besides UEFI before the installation, the system can be booted afterwards (with rootdelay=10 for to the USB sticks).
Is it a bug in the PVE installer that booting from ZFS-RAID1 in UEFI mode does not work?
Cheers,
Wolfram
