During install time I was made 10 raid partitions across 5 500GB SATA
drives. The final partition /dev/md8 wouldn’t partition format and
anaconda would crash telling me that the partition couldn’t be formatted,
and required a reboot. After the 3rd attempt I figured that the
partitions are all the same size so I will just format it when I am in the
running operating system. I took a look at my partitions using fdisk (take note that all 5 are the
same save the drive number it self) <see paste at bottom> The partitions are there. /dev/sdX11 is the partition that I am trying
to use. I tried to make the raid partitions to no avail. I looked
at /etc/mdadm.conf and saw that /dev/md8 is there. From my limited
understanding I am under the assumption that the raid is made and all I need to
do is format it. I try to format it and I get the error reporting the
device size to be zero. The partitions are clearly not zero. I am
now stuck. What should I do next? Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot
