openSUSE's partitioner installs RAID with metadata superblock version 1.0, by default.

from cmd line, you can easily create/install RAID with other versions -- e.g., "super 1.2".

asking @mailing-list,

  "... using partitioner, how/where is the metadata version set?
   specifically, if i want to install with v1.2 -- where's that specified?"

answer came back,

  "I think you'll have to do it manually, i.e. swap to shell and
   create the raids yourself."

certainly do-able.

but, as one realizes the version-1.0-by-default _after_ the fact of install, and changing metadata version once installed is, at best, a challenge ...

a nice-to-have would be a simple option in the partitioner's RAID install interface for Metadata version specification/selection.

thanks.
