The installer launches the partition manager where the instructions say
to partition both disks identically and then make them raid. After I
make them raid,the ext4fs partitions show as being partitioned raid
instead of / .I have not been able to format the raid disk or to make it / .

the 2 disks.

Both disks are the same brand, purchased from the same company about 2
weeks apart.
