Ok, so just to confirm, you do have to choose the bivlet-gui method
of partitioning to setup RAID, correct?
Before deleting the tests I happened to notice that my first "custom"
install did not actually use the full available space on the two drives
for the root partition. This seems to be due to selecting the size
before setting it to raid0. The installer had topped out the size
before I was able to tell it that it gets both drive partitions to use.
The solution was to select 100G for the size of the "/" partition as a
last step. It then simply set it to the full available space remaining.
So that is a small "got ya" issue for the "Custom" option that the
bivlet does not seem to suffer from.
