In your case you could have dropped the number of elements in the array, did the install and then bumped it back up again. If you only had two drives you wouldn't have been able to, because anaconda also has a minimum number of drives for each raid type. So even a complete 1 element raid 1 array can't be used for an install. In the past I have patched anaconda to allow this. There have been RFEs both for allowing degraded arrays and allowing complete 1 element raid 1 arrays and both (well actually more since there are duplicates of these RFEs) have been closed won't fix. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
