BIOS boot partition, 4x3TB disks, and raid, problems with anaconda

[Lars E. Pettersson]

Hi!

I tried to set up a system using four 3TB disks as a raid6. The disks 
are new, no old partitions laying around. I used a USB stick as install 
media (Fedora 20 x86_64 Gnome Live).

I chose manual partitioning to get everything as I wanted. When this was 
ready I got the error message that I also needed a BIOS boot partition 
(I gather that this due to being rather large disks). I tried to create 
one of those, but it seemed to only be created on one of the discs in 
the raid array, I wanted it created on all disks, just as the raid 
partitions. This to be able to boot from any of the disks in the array 
in case of a failure. As it is now, if the main disk dies, I can not 
start the system at all.

Actually I ended up having three BIOS boot partition on the first disk, 
being 2, 1, and 1 MB large. Which is quite annoying. But that's another 
problem...

Before submitting a bug report/RFE on this. Is there anyone out there 
that have done this, from anaconda? I.e. creating raid partitions and 
BIOS boot partitions on ALL disks? If so, how did you do it?
