   @sep @nafmo I'm using the graphical installer. Create the EFI disk, create a RAID disk, create the RAID. Then the only option I have (can't create partitions on the RAID partition) is using the guided setup. From there I run into this error that grub can't be installed.

     @ascherbaum @sep You need to create the boot partition(s) first (possibly with identical mirror partition(s) on the other disk(s)), then set up the RAID on the remaining space and put the normal partitions there.

     If you're using swap, make sure to also create swap partition(s) before creating the RAID space.

     @ascherbaum @sep My current setup (at home) is this: / and /boot/efi as regular partitions on SSD, then a swap partition and RAID space on each of my 2 TB HDDs, with a /home partition taking up the RAID space (plus a scratch partition on a spare disk)

     @nafmo @sep I have that setup as you described. I'll try setting this up manually tomorrow, the busybox coming with the installer is quite limited.

     @ascherbaum @sep It's possible to do in the installer, you just have to commit the partition table a couple of times (before and after adding RAID space), which makes it a bit clumsy.
