i use full UUIDs as both VG and LV names, eg:

/dev/mapper/40ba05004b58c5e5b6e6b8b30000044b-effdfe048c0b40279a1a67a8732926a7

... because of this, `grub_bios-install` fails with:

/bin/grub-mkimage: error: prefix is too long.

... and the image is never created. actual command being executed is:

/bin/grub-mkimage -d /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc -O i386-pc --output=core.img --prefix='(40ba05004b58c5e5b6e6b8b30000044b-effdfe048c0b40279a1a67a87329)/grub' biosdisk ext2 part_gpt part_gpt raid mdraid1x lvm

(strace) execve("/bin/grub-mkimage", ["/bin/grub-mkimage", "-d", "/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc", "-O", "i386-pc", "--output=/grub/core.img", "--prefix=(40ba05004b58c5e5b6e6b8b30000044b-effdfe048c0b40279a1a67a8732926a7)/grub", "biosdisk", "ext2", "part_gpt", "part_gpt", "raid", "mdraid1x", "lvm"], [/* 30 vars */]) = 0

... setup for all non-swap partitions is GPT -> MDRAID -> LVM -> EXT4
