Create new MD device for identical partitions on recently configured disks. Choose RAID1 as device type. Select 2 as a number of active devices for the RAID1 array. Select 0 as a number of spare devices. Select identical partitions on recently configured disks (eg. md0 → [sda1, sdb1] and md1 → [sda2,sdb2]). Step 6 Create root file-system on the first RAID1 device. Create swap space on the second RAID1 device. Select finish partitioning and write changes to disk option to confirm changes applied to the RAID1 devices.
