You kept only saying 'read the link'. Well, read the link! It points out 4 choices and none of them says 'you need a bunch of scripts'. > If it's that you have some other proposal for solving this, it would > be helpful for you to say so I already said my solution is using hardware raid or fixing the problem in all the UEFI BIOSs. I'd also say that the BIOS must never write to the storage, be it to an UEFI partition or anywhere else. But that's a different topic. > [...] > If your suggested solution is "use hardware RAID", no need to repeat > that one though: I see you said it in a few other messages, and that > suggestions has been received. Assume the conversation continues > amongst people who don't like that suggestion. Well, too late, I already said it again since you asked. Do you have a better solution? It's ok not to like this solution, but do you have a better one? > Otherwise, I don't think anyone knows what you have spent several > messages trying to say. All we got was, "you don't need scripts". What do you expect when you keep repeating 'read the link'.
