Ok, for manual partitioning- what do I select for the partitions?
I have no idea what each of the buffalo partitions are for, besides the large data one.
If I leave the partitions alone and go to the bottom, and pick finish partitioning and write changes: it errors out.
No root file system is defined
Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
Apparently it doesn't detect what the previous partitions were for.
This is what I have, after doing the buffalo firmware install.

In gparted, it shows for /dev/sda:
/dev/sda1 linux-raid /dev/md127 4.77GB no label -
/dev/sda2 linux-raid /dev/md124 15.26GB label TS-QVHL-EMB80:1 -
/dev/sda3 grub2.core.img 1 MB - no label - assumed to be boot partition?
/dev/sda4 unknown - 1 MB
- no label -
/dev/sda5 linux-raid /dev/md126 3.82GB label TS-QVHL-EMB80:2 -
/dev/sda6 linux-raid /devmd125 1.79TB label TS-QVHL-EMB80:10 - I know this one is samba data
unallocated 7.82 gb
Also, about the grub installer part of your script:
Since there was the problem with the buffalo firmware trying to find 4 drives when there are only 2, how does your script handle the grub install?
Does it check to see how many drives are in the system?
Is it trying to write it to 4 drives, even though it will not find 2 of them with this unit?
Thanks.
