Hi Francis,quoted
For Fake RAID, I'm not sure but I would say that the bios is able to read the RAID metadata as well. For (md) Soft RAID, I don't know. I would say that the bios is unlikely to understand the md metadata stored in the /boot partition so it won't work.there is no big difference between EFI and legacy systems in this area.
Well the main difference I can see is that EFI firmwares access a filesystem where as BIOS doesn't in order to load the bootloader. In the case of BIOS you can still rely on a bootloader such as grub to access a partition with MD RAID on it. Thanks
