I'm still confused about the appearance of checkboxes and mutually exclusive options (e.g. I can choose Redundancy or Optimized with only one disk; or both options with only two disks, etc.) Seems like the UI behavior should be:

Single disk: Neither Redundancy nor Optimized checkboxes should be selectable (either not visible or grayed out).

2-3 disks chosen: Optimized and Redundancy appear as radio buttons (mutually exclusive options) with Optimized selected by default.

4+ disks, there are two valid options:
a.) Same behavior as for 2-3 disks i.e. either raid0 or raid1.
b.) Change from radio buttons to checkboxes to include raid10 support; UI requires one or both checkboxes to be checked. Since none of the release requirements requires raid10, this UI behavior is optional.

You shouldn't bother with btrfs raid options until you can use
anaconda-18.17.

The one thing you mentioned that might still be a problem is allowing
btrfs raid when only one disk is present/selected. I'll look into that.

This also seems to work fine with anaconda-18.17.
