Description H. Peter Anvin 2012-05-28 19:30:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Anaconda insists a RAID device has to have more than one member.  This makes it impossible to create a single-member RAID-1 (effectively a single partition with a RAID superblock) with the intent of adding a second device later.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 17 release media (version unknown).


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install Fedora 17 on a system with only one drive, but create the filesystems as RAID-1, sans LVM.
2. Watch Anaconda try to tell you a RAID device must have two members, and therefore refuse.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

That is intentional behaviour. We do not support installing to degraded RAID.
