Description of problem: anaconda uses metadata version 0.9 for mdraided /boot instead of 1.2 because of an old limitation of grub1 not beeing able to boot from metadata versions > 0.9. I have verified that this is not the case for grub2 anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f16 alpha rc5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create an mdraided /boot with raidlevel 1 in anaconda 2. check the metadata version given in the superblock infos 3. see that /boot uses 0.9 whereas all other raidsets get 1.2
Please attach /var/log/anaconda/anaconda.program.log from the system so I can see what exactly was done. Thanks.

mdadm is executed with 1.0 metadata flag... after reboot it did show me 0.9 as version for md0 though as far as i recall. the default version is 1.2. it works for grub2 if grub 1.99 final is beeing used.

We are creating the array with --metadata=1.0. If mdadm is somehow overriding that it is definitely an mdadm bug. It should not be overriding explicitly specified parameters.
