Also I have more one question
Next raid's partitioning in preseed file like as:

Code:

d-i partman-auto-raid/recipe string \
    1 2 0 ext4 /                                        \
          /dev/sda1#/dev/sdb1                           \
    .                                                   \
    1 2 0 ext4 /home                                    \
          /dev/sda5#/dev/sdb5                           \
    .                                                   \
    1 2 0 ext4 /var                                     \
          /dev/sda6#/dev/sdb6                           \
    .                                                   \
    1 2 0 ext4 /usr                                     \
          /dev/sda7#/dev/sdb7                           \
    .                                                   \
    1 2 0 ext4 /local                                   \
          /dev/sda8#/dev/sdb8                           \
    .

Could somebody clarify me, why I can't specify sda1#sdb1, sda2#sdb2... etc? If I'll do it then installation will be crashed with error. But if I make as above, then installation will be OK

--- Post updated at 02:40 PM ---

because sda1 is 1 primary partition
primary partitions can be only 4 (if it isn't GPT)

sda, sdb - it's disks
sda1,sdb1 - it's first primary partitions

extended partitions start with number 5
and we have next pic:

Code:

sda
|- sda1
|-- md0
|
|- sda5
|-- md1
|- sda6
|- md2

and with sdb same...

NAME

       hd - MFM/IDE hard disk devices

DESCRIPTION

       The  hd*  devices  are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives in raw mode.  The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major
       device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb.  The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and	the  slave
       hdd.

       General	IDE block device names have the form hdX, or hdXP, where X is a letter denoting the physical drive, and P is a number denoting the
       partition on that physical drive.  The first form, hdX, is used to address the whole drive.  Partition numbers are assigned  in	the  order
       the  partitions	are  discovered, and only non-empty, non-extended partitions get a number. However, partition numbers 1-4 are given to the
       four partitions described in the MBR (the `primary' partitions), regardless of whether they are unused or extended.  Thus, the first  logi-
       cal  partition  will be hdX5.  Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported.	You can have at most 63 partitions
       on an IDE disk.

       For example, /dev/hda refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and /dev/hdb3 refers to the third DOS `primary' partition on  the
       second one.

       They are typically created by:

	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda b 3 0
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda1 b 3 1
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda2 b 3 2
	      ...
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hda8 b 3 8
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb b 3 64
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb1 b 3 65
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb2 b 3 66
	      ...
	      mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb8 b 3 72
	      chown root:disk /dev/hd*
