16. Reboot

Reboot

Shutdown the system and reboot.

While rebooting, press F2, choose boot, hard drive order and put the current boot disk at the bottom of the list. The system should rebout now from the mirrored partition.

In the blue GRUB menu, choose this option at the bottom.

Update the Grub menu

After reboot, check if the correct disks are mounted: Enter the command update-grub to update the (blue) Grub boot menu. From now on, the system will boot from mirrored boot and mount a logical disk as root. After that, the mirrored boot device will also be mounted as /boot.

Check the configuration

While booting, it should use the first option in the blue Grub boot menu.

If the system boots now, it must be from all mirrored partitions. And that's wat we intended.

Remove the temporal boot disk and try again

You first booted from usb-stick.
Then you installed Ubuntu onto a temporal boot-disk, and booted from there.
Finally you transferred the system to a mirrored disk, end now booted from there.
So theoreticlly now the temporal disk is free. Before wiping it, we better check that.

Shut down the system, remove the temporal disk, and reboot.
System is alive ? Great, move on.
System won't boot ? Go back some pages. Check UID's in the boot nmenu, etc.
