Have a system with rootfs on RAID1, an example kickstart partitioning: clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=500 --label=boot part swap --fstype=swap --recommended --label=swap part raid.01 --size=8000 part raid.02 --size=8000 raid / --device=0 --level=RAID1 raid.01 raid.02 2. Try to re-install the system using autopart: clearpart --all --initlabel autopart Actual results: Anaconda traceback Expected results: RAID removed and new partitioning successfully created.
