I need some assistance with getting multiple RAID types to work across
disks using autoyast. The formatting of all drives works properly,
but the software RAID does not configure properly. I have raid1 for
my /boot partition and raid5 for all other /dev/md partitions. The
disks (/dev/cciss/c0d*) configure properly, but the software
partitions (/dev/md*) all configure as raid1, eventhough raid5 is
specified. The pertinent sections of the profile are pasted below.
FYI: Each disk is exactly the same simply incremented (c0d0, c0d1, etc.).
