It's also best practices to disable the write cache on all drives used in any kind of RAID.
More important, all drives in RAID need SCT ERC set on each drive, which is also not persistent on non-enterprise drives. That requires smartctl -l scterc 70,70 <dev> otherwise read failures don't always get fixed correctly, fester, and can needlessly result in the RAID degrading or failing.
And now I see mdadm is not installed either on the ISO.
I filed this bug to get dosfs-tools included, mainly for UEFI systems. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1290575
Should I just file bugs like that for each one of these other missing components, and set them to block a tracker bug for things to include on the ISO? In my view a baremetal installation is first a server, so it should have basic server tools.
