Err....no it doesn't.... it syncs the array as it installs, do a cntrl-alt-f3 when installing to bring a shell up then do a "watch cat /proc/mdstat"
I've observed this too. Really irritating.
RAID1 has to sync as you create it - and if it doesn't complete and shut down cleanly it will do it again on the first boot. With hardware that is reasonable to run as RAID1 it shouldn't be noticeable. Why is it irritating?
It halts the install of packages until the sync is done for the / mount points. (/var/ /bin/ /etc/ ..) As a mount is required, it snycs the drives.
Later, when installing the files in /boot, it syncs that too. Basically, it is lots of waiting with what looks like a frozen task bar. The waiting is the pain. ;) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
