My swap partition is on /dev/md1 which is raid0 array of 4 devices (/dev/sd{a,b,c,d}2) I want my / to be on /dev/md10 which is a raid0 array of 2 devices (/dev/md11 and /dev/md12) /dev/md11 is a raid1 array of 2 devices (/dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3) /dev/md12 is a raid1 array of 2 devices (/dev/sdc3 and /dev/sdd3) Previously I had created an LVM over /dev/md11 and /dev/md12, but after installation the system would not boot. Now I'm trying to create /dev/md10, which works fine in the shell, but I can't get it to show up in anaconda, so that I can start installing on it. Russ
