I am new to both Parabola, to this forum and to Arch world! I am not an expert, but an average user of a Debian-based distro who wanted to try Parabola for a long time. And I am not either an expert on partitions, RAID or luks, but I have a 3-disk computer and that is where I want to install Parabola, having the disks luks-encrypted and having a RAID1 mirror. The system would go on Raid1 and non-critical data on the non-raid third disk. Fortunately, the setup I want to achieve is step-by-step explained in this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LUKS_on_software_RAID I am following every step on that guide. Everything was fine until I reached the "Configuring GRUB" section. I did vi /etc/default/grub I found an empty file and added what the guide says. Then, when trying to run the grub-install commands on the guide, I found grub was not installed. I searched on the Internet on how to install grub and did it. But now, when trying to run those grub-install commands, I get the following: root at parabolaiso / # grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'airootfs'. 1 root at parabolaiso / # grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdb Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'airootfs'. 1 root at parabolaiso / # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB Installing for x86_64-efi platform. grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of '/efi'. How could I solve that error? Thank you!
