Hi,
I have a machine with 2 disks in software RAID (dmraid) and I would like to clone it to another machine (same software RAID - dmraid). According to the changelog, looks like softraid is now supported.

My questions:

On the destination machine, if I select the fake RAID (dmraid) - will it keep the /dev/mapper directory structure?

Does it create on the destination machine a new UUID and do I need to manually update GRUB?

Are there special instruction or any section to read about cloning softraid (RAID-1) machine?

Thanks

It's not really ready. RAID is very complicated. You can just give it a try. Just remember to backup important data before you use it. Just in case.
