While setting up GRUB after following the Howto at gentoo-wiki.com for Installing on sofware RAID, "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" is returned when attempting to write the MBR to the second drive of the array.

Why is Error 16 returned? Both MBRs appear to be the same.

Is this a problem?


grub output:

GRUB is not complaining about the MBRs. There is something wrong with the filesystem that is on /dev/hdb1 (possible corruption).
