Before I destroy something:

I had to re-install a SUSE 10.0 system due to a disk failure. This
system had 2 raid1  disks. In the new system, I see the two disks in
Yast's partitioner and they are listed as RAID. When I select RAID from
the menu at the bottom, yast offers to add these to /dev/md0.

So far so good.

After this, it offers to format these. Obviously I do not want this. Is
it enough to say 'Don't format', and set the mount point to where the
raid volume should be mounted? This would be what I would do for a
single disk. But I do not know enough of how raid1 is handled to know if
the same applies her.

I realize this seems a no brainer. But I really do not want to mess the
raid volumes. I just want to mount them again.

I have the original /etc/md.conf file from the system that crashed. Is
it enough to just put that back?
