I hate servers that only support EFI boot with a passion. Yes, legacy / BIOS boot is old, but it was so simple. I've been spending hours trying to get EFI boot working on servers with swraid-ed disks and *nothing* works without ugly hackish patches all over!
Anyone successfully got an EFI partition (/boot/efi) on an MDRaid device? D':4 -

WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP
It's so precious that when it detects an existing mdraid signature, it just *won't* let me create a physical volume over it!
No matter that I run pvcreate with double-force switch.
It doesn't matter that the system doesn't even have a single MD device defined (Which can be easily checked in /proc/mdstat OR by checking the /dev subsystem)
I *hate* commands that are trying to be more clever than the admin sitting behind the keyboard.
Sure, leave this as the default behavior (It could save a lot of people's data I bet), but BLOODY HELL GIVE ME A SWITCH TO OVERRIDE THE CHECK YOU DUMBASS.
I swear... I feel like I'll get a frickin' brain hemorrhage from this "clever tool" -_-"5
