9. Once done select "Finish". 5.1.3. Formatting
There should now be a list of hard drives and RAID devices. The next step is to format and set the mount point for the RAID devices. Treat the RAID device as a local hard drive, format and mount accordingly.
1. Select "#1" under the "RAID1 device #0" partition.
2. Choose "Use as:". Then select "swap area", then "Done setting up partition".
3. Next, select "#1" under the "RAID1 device #1" partition.
4. Choose "Use as:". Then select "Ext4 journaling file system".
5. Then select the "Mount point" and choose "/ - the root file system". Change any of the other options as appropriate, then select "Done setting up partition".
6. Finally, select "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk".
If you choose to place the root partition on a RAID array, the installer will then ask if you would like to boot in a degraded state. See Section 5.1.4, “Degraded RAID” [p. 13] for further details.
