[NTLUG:Discuss] RedHat 7.2 Disk Druid messing with RAID devices

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello everyone:

I was trying to create a bootable RAID layout for a 
system that is going to run RedHat 7.2.

I booted from the Red Hat 7.2 CD and selected a Custom Installation.

When I got to the disk configuration selection, I choose to manually 
partition the disk with fdisk.

I laid out both disks with the following partitions:

Partition	Size (MB)
1		256		Bootable
2				Extended
5		3000
6		3000
7		3000	
8		3000
9		3000
10		6500

I marked all of the partitions as Linux raid autodetect

I then went back and choose to use Disk Druid.

In disk druid, I tried to lay out the followind RAID devices 
(Because I need the 1st partition of each disk to be the
md0 device):

/ 	md0 	RAID1 	hda1, hdb1 
Swap 	md1 	RAID1 	hda5, hdb5 
/home	md2 	RAID1 	hda6, hdb6 
/tmp 	md3 	RAID1 	hda7, hdb7 
/var 	md4 	RAID1 	hda8, hdb8 
/opt 	md5 	RAID1 	hda9, hdb9
/usr 	md6 	RAID1 	hda10, hdb10

BUT, every time I tried to configure this, disk druid decided to
change the RAID Device numbers on the partitions and I cant override
it.

Is there a way to force the raid device number to a specific
set of partitions?

Thanks,
	Neil.
