RAID provides redundancy while the system is runningRAID provides redundancy for devices - no matter if something is runningRAID alone does not provide boot redundancy. If a drive fails, the system will continue to run until shutdown. But it won't boot if the boot area was only set up on the failed disk
what's the point of such nonsense-comments? yes, when i am an idiot an don't run grub2-install on all disks it#s no there - but as saif dozens of times: we all know this and it has to be only done ONCE per drive after that RAID ensures (ensured before UEFI) that /boot and everything in that filesystem is redundant

For boot redundancy, the boot loader must be installed on each diskso whatSo that the system can still boot after whichever drive failed.

With EFI boot, it means there must be an EFI partition on each disk. But EFI partitions do not need to be identical as long as any of them can boot the systemso what - the topic is "Transferring an existing system from non-RAID disks to RAID1 disks in the same computer"People who install the system on RAID usually expect boot redundancy
and i explained multiple times how to get that with ESP
