   Okay, everything works with the encrypted RAID-1 now

     @Moon it wasn't until about a year ago I learned that if you boot from drives in RAID then grub will automatically update and sync the bootloader on all the drives for you since the bootloader can't be RAIDed. That way if a drive fails you don't have to worry about not having a bootloader to boot from anymore.

     @Moon do you think encrypted RAID-1 is worth setting up? pros and cons?

     @billiam it's for storing offsite backups.

     @sjw @Moon @coldacid The motherboard's UEFI firmware is the bootloader.

     @coldacid @Moon I'm not entirely sure how you'd do it with EFISTUB tho as that's just the UEFI booting the kernel directly without the need of a bootloader.
     
     I guess you could use hardware RAID although on consumer hardware that's usually limited to RAID 1 or RAID 0 and is notoriously unreliable.
     
     I guess the best solution would be to have several separate /boot partitions and just copy your kernels over. If there isn't a way to automate it already then you could probably use an rsync script as a hook for your package manager easily enough.

     @coldacid @Moon you cannot
     The bootloader can or you can if you use hardware RAID tho.

     @sjw @Moon wait so you _can_ boot off of RAID?
