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?
Yes.
I was a chicken. So I tried using the /etc/md.conf file from the old system. It works! If I ever have RAID disks I don't care about, I will try to let yast recreate them. I would be more comfortable if yast claimed that this is what it is doing. The 'create raid' language made me alert. Just to be clear: there is no issue with yast. That I know of. Maybe an improvement in the language used. Or a bit of info in the help pane for those who are trying to add volumes that are already RAID.
I have the original /etc/md.conf file from the system that crashed. Is it enough to just put that back?
You only need that when you create the RAID1, not for running it.
I think this is incorrect. It is needed when /etc/rc.d/boot.md sets up the raid volumes at boot. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
