I want to install Fedora 21 Server.
I have two "750G" drives, both formatted for raid, type "fd." boot 2G, / 30G, home/ whatever the remainder. I did not create a file system, assuming that would be created by the installer?
Anyway, Raid is not being offered as an option.
Starting at the hub (main menu of installer):
- Installation Destination
- From list of "local standard disks" you need to select at least 2+
devices, i.e. they must have check marks
Did that.
- Choose "I will configure partitioning', click Done which will take
you to Manual Partitioning
Did that also.
- On the left hand side of the UI you'll see an Unknown section you
need to click on that to expose existing md block devices you created.
"Unknown" I had never clicked on that so that was a stumbling point for me.
You can either delete these and have the installer recreate them itself, or fill in the blanks on the right. You need to set a mountpoint for each, and a filesystem. Device Type will be RAID.
For whatever reason Device Type is not accepting entry?

All of that looks ok except "Device Type" is always grayed out and I never get to select raid. I made /boot ext2 and the others ext4 and /dev/sda seems happy with that but no matter what I do entries to /dev/sdb are not accepted, and as I say I can't select raid and raid 1.
I set the disks up with fdisk but have not created any files on the assumption that the installer should do that, perhaps I am wrong?
