But it isn't at all obvious how one would do a new RAID1 setup in Anaconda
Don't feel bad. The abortion that is the RHEL/CentOS 7 graphical install interface is far too dumbed-down to be easily usable by anyone that understands what is going on under the covers. Oh, the irony.
Can anyone provide (or give pointers to) a good recipe for doing this?
A quick google brought up the following link that (looking just at the disk portion) appears to be mostly correct, and should give you the magic incantation:
http://www.ictdude.com/howto/install-centos-7-software-raid-lvm/
I've been building C7 VMs with RAID-1 in Virtualbox these last couple of days, to pin down exactly how to do it. based on the link above, but I'm making "real" partitions instead of LVM.
The current iteration seems to be running fine, but I had an odd problem when configuring the partitions: for two 10 gig virtual drives, it wouldn't let me use the last gig of space. or maybe it has some other issue on the max partition size,... it seemed to max out at around 9900 MB. This for sure won't do when I build it on real hardware, so I'm wondering if anyone else here has a clue what's going on??
thanks in advance!
