Do not format the RAID array.

The following example shows how to create a RAID level 1 partition for /, and a RAID

level 5 for /usr, assuming there are three SCSI disks on the system. It also creates three

swap partitions, one on each drive.

part raid.02 --size 60 --ondisk sdb

part raid.03 --size 60 --ondisk sdc

part swap --size 128 --ondisk sda

part swap --size 128 --ondisk sdb

part swap --size 128 --ondisk sdc

part raid.11 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sda

part raid.12 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdb

part raid.13 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdc

raid / --level 1 --device md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03
