Hi Jason,

Based on your last comment, then your bug report is unclear.

In the bug description you have said:

"I then create a raid-1 set of the two disks, telling maas to use the entire disks. However, maas creates a partition on one of the disks, and uses all of the other disk:"

and

"The expected behavior is that all of both disks are used for the raid set. In a 2 disk raid 1 setup, either disk could be lost, so there shouldn't be anything special about either disk."

So, based on your description "Since maas is using the entire disk, and both disk shouldn't be anything special, and either disk could be lost" then both disk in the RAID require the GPT partition for the bootloader.

All machines in EFI are installed with GPT, and hence, require a partition.

As such, could you please clarify your bug report?
