QA:Testcase partitioning blivet software RAID

Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_44_Beta_Release_Criteria#custom-partitioning release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.

Description

A complete installation using advanced custom partitioning (blivet-gui) and software RAID devices for all partitions. For more details on RAID please consult Wikipedia.

Setup

1. Use a system with multiple disks but no hardware or firmware RAID arrays for testing: a virtual machine with multiple virtual disks is fine
2. Study Software RAID documentation for Fedora Server for a detailed guide that you can follow when testing this.

How to test

1. Boot the installer using any available means
2. At the Installation Destination screen, select at least two disks, and ensure the Advanced Custom (Blivet-GUI) option is selected under Storage Configuration, then click Done
3. Remove existing partitions, if necessary
4. If in BIOS mode, create the Biosboot partition (as a non-RAID partition) on all disks.
5. If in UEFI mode, create the ESP partition as SW RAID 1 on all disks.
6. Create the /boot partition as SW RAID 1 on all disks.
7. Create the / partition as SW RAID 1 on all disks.
8. Optionally, also create a /home partition as SW RAID 1 on all disks.
9. Finish the installation, choosing all provided defaults

Expected Results

1. The installer should successfully create and install to the RAID devices: unrelated failures should be reported but do not constitute a failure of this test case
2. After booting the installed system, inspection of /proc/mdstat should confirm that the partitions designated as RAID devices are in fact RAID devices
