Is it possible to partition a disk with Disk Druid and control the order of the partitions? I want to create my own boot and swap as RAID partitions but Disk Druid won't keep them in the order I want, no matter what I specify first. I've done this before by using fdisk to make the partitions before starting Disk Druid but I thought someone said this was an old bug and should have been fixed.
I don't know the answer to your question - but I know a question you might want to ask yourself - why am I doing this?

Two choice quotes:
1. There's no reason to use RAID for swap performance reasons.
2. There has been a lot of discussion about whether swap was stable on RAID devices. This is a continuing debate, because it depends highly on other aspects of the kernel as well.
