screenshot of anaconda GUI installer showing RAID options
We already do? Did you choose more than one disk to install to?

If the installer doesn't support this, please append "for degraded RAIDs" to the bug summary. Thanks, Jiri Anaconda does not support degraded RAID. |
Created attachment 926082 [details] screenshot of anaconda GUI installer showing no RAID options Description of problem: The GUI installer doesn't seem to support non-btrfs software raid, the initial "partitioning scheme" selection doesn't include it and it's not available in any mountpoint options after mountpoint creation, see the attached image. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (the version used for the official RHEL-7.0 DVD) Actual results: no softward raid configuration possible using the GUI installer Expected results: being able to configure software raid (mdadm) over any block devices (entire disks, standard partitions, LVM LVs, existing software raids) Additional info: Software raid works just fine using a custom kickstart, it's just the GUI installer, which lacks the capability. My use case was to create two degraded raids (v0.90 metadata for /boot, v1.2 metadata for /) on a single drive, adding a second drive later.
