I am attempting to do an automated install of Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 on a Dell C6320 with 6 2TB disks.

I have been able to manually install one with the configuration I want, but obviously that isn't ideal.

The layout I want is as follows:

(same partitioning on all 6 drives)

partition 1 - ~512MB EFI partition
partition 2 - Rest of disk as a physical raid volume

md - one raid5 device with all of the partition #2 included, all active no spare

lvm - one volume group (vg00) that uses the md device and two logical volumes (200GB / and 16GB swap).

I have tried the below preseed disk partitioning info with and without another md device for /boot as ext3, 
with the partman/confirm_write_new_label written as partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label and other things
that I have found on the net with no success.  

If anybody has any suggestions or see issues with the preseed info I have provided please let me know!
