Description Alejandro Vargas 2015-04-15 15:18:58 CEST 
This days I was making tests of the installer in RAID disks. I installed mga5 in a virtual machine with 2 disks in RAID1. 

Then, I tried to install (not update) over this disks but destroying the RAID and formatting in BTRFS. 

The problem: diskdrake reports it can't format the partition. I think may be it is not stopping the RAID and not writting the changes before trying to format, because if I reboot, the previous RAID stills there.

I am using the lastest version because I am booting with boot.iso and installing through network. I selected mirrors.kernel.org for instalation.
Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2015-04-16 14:45:56 CEST 
OK, that's the (more generic) bug #15664 I've opened (though I should have maybe split it between LVM & RAID).
We should probably run mdadm --remove when stopping a RAID.
