Description Greg McCarthy 2010-06-26 16:28:59 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/6.0.447.0 Safari/534.2

When trying to create a RAID set using yast I keep getting the following error:
"There are not enough suitable unused devices to create a RAID"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run yast
2.System/Partitioner
3. RAID - Add RAID
Actual Results:  
"There are not enough suitable unused devices to create a RAID"

Expected Results:  
I have 3 x Samsung 1TB drives so the system should allow me to create a Raid 5 set.

If I use the command line tool mdadm I am able to successfully create the raid set.

I've created a partition on all of the drives as type 0xFD. I've also removed the partition and tried to create the raid set - I get the same error.

I've upgraded to the latest version of the yast partitioner and it looks like its fixed the problem. I can now access the raid menu.
