1. I can't tell when this happened, but at least in 19.23 there's a rather significant BTRFS regression in that there are no raid level options at all. Some prior version at least offered raid0 and raid1 (while Fedora 18 also offered raid10). Bug or UI problem?

2. (md) RAID levels 4, 5, 6 refer to "error checking" which is wrong. There is no error checking at all in normal operation of any of these RAID levels. It's a grossly misleading description. I've mentioned it probably 1/2 dozen times on anaconda@ through the F18 lifecycle and it's been ignored. I don't know if I need to use stronger language or what, but the current descriptions effectively lie to users about how these RAID levels function. In a world where words, terms, actually have meaning rather than being meaningless, this needs to be fixed.

If it is possible, I can't figure out how to do it.
