Comments/Problems:
While the md devices were creating & formatting inside the installer,
the seemingly long delays left me wondering if the installation was
going to hang. A message informing a user that these steps could take a
while might ease concern.
After installation, "cat /proc/mdstat" showed md1 : active(auto-read-only).
Had to issue "sudo mdadm --readwrite /dev/md1" to correct.
md1 is not listed in mount output.
gparted (GUI) does not recognize all partitions correctly and lists
several of them as 'unknown'.
fdisk -l complained of invalid partitions (listed above).
Not 100% confident these arrays are safe for data.
