Hello, I'm trying to replace fauty Proxmox ZFS boot disk (they are in RAID1 so proxmox boot without problem from other disk).
The commands I did are the following (after replace the disk):

Code:
# sgdisk --replicate=/dev/sdb /dev/sda
# sgdisk --randomize-guids /dev/sdb
# grub-install /dev/sdb

But the last command replied me with:
Code:
root@pve:~# grub-install /dev/sdb
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

I already did the same procedure in other server without EFI boot, and it works perfect, then I added the new disk to the pool. Now, how can I install grub on new disk?
Thank you
Lucas
