md127 apparently only uses 81.95GB per disk. Maybe one of the partitions has
the wrong size. What's the output of lsblk?
I just spent a few hours experimenting with the CentOS 7 installer in a
VirtualBox guest with four virtual hard disks. I can now confirm this is
a very stupid bug in the (very stupid) installer. Or at least one more
random weirdness. Here goes.
The new installer is organized around mount points, which have to be
defined first. OK, so I first define my mountpoint /boot, set it to 200
MB (which is enough), define it to be RAID level 1 across four disks
with an ext2 filesystem. So far so good.
Next step is similar, swap mountpoint is 2 GB, also RAID level 1 across
four disks.
Finally, the / (root partition) mountpoint is supposed to take up the
full amount of remaining disk space. In my virtual guest, I defined 4 X
40 GB to fiddle with. The installer shows me something like 38.6 GB,
which looks like the remaining space on each disk's partition.
Now I define RAID level 5 across four disks...
... and here it comes.
Once RAID level 5 is defined, I have to REDEFINE the maximum disk space
by putting in a random large number, for example 4 X 40 GB = 160 GB.
Because what is meant here is THE TOTAL RESULTING AMOUNT OF DISK SPACE
IN THE RAID 5 ARRAY, AND NOT THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF A DISK PARTITION. So
once I fill that field with 160 GB, the installer "automagically" sets
it to 106.8 GB, which is in effect the maximum available disk space
using RAID 5.
Usability anyone?
