I was updating my home server a few days ago and found grub2/raid
throwing the following error

# update-grub2
error: found two disks with the index 2 for RAID md1.

done

This seems to be the same as the bug filed at

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34250

The temporary fix talks about changing your partition layout so you
don't have a raid partition as the last partition on the disk - seems a
bit drastic. Anyone have any better ideas?
