Comment 1 for bug 1381170

+1 for adding mdadm to the Mint images. It's a single small package and would be a significant help to intermediate users and helpful for advanced users who are trying to use a Live image to repair or recover.

I didn't notice the grub problem, it installed for me. It didn't *work* at all, because I'd fresh installed Mint 17 onto /dev/md? devices, but it was at least there. Some 'mount --bind', 'chroot', 'apt-get' and grubs commands post-install and it works.

I think the real fix here is to either add software RAID support to the installer, or provide an "alternate" installer like Ubuntu used to. (Sigh. I guess you need to use Ubuntu Server, Netboot, or Lubuntu alternate (14.04 at least) for this now. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-August/035675.html.) But I get why they are dropped and that this is a tiny use-case. Still, with Encrypted LVM support, how much more work is software RAID?
