Hi All,
I was experimenting with Apple RAID on my Clover install and realize it's a pain to copy the EFI folder to each RAID drive and I assume anytime I want to run Clover config, I have to do that to each drive. Then I came up with an idea.
I have a m.2 slot on my x99 board and an 8 GB m.2 SSD is about $20. Can I just install a bare Clover boot loader to this drive and keep this permanently set as my boot? This would make managing RAID and SuperDuper backups/restore super easy since I never have to worry about reinstalling Clover every time I re-image.
I could also see myself having a couple of these m.2 drives so I can use one as a backup in case I am making risky changes to configuration and/or kexts. I also plan to manage 100% of my custom kexts within Clover.
Anyone see any problems with using Clover this way?
