why is UEFI installation of ubuntu 24.04 lts behaving different for mdadm during installation [closed]

I am trying to setup mdadm RAID1 for the os drive for ubuntu 24.04 lts and am not sure what is going on with uefi that it is adding mount points to one of the drives even though i want no partition on it so i can create the RAID1 on the 2 drives

please see the screenshot below

So i went ahead and set it up anyways and this how it looks

As you can see the boot partition is still pointing to the first partition of the first disk /dev/xvda

Is this not problematic? i think i will just avoid UEFI boot firmware altogether

Is this expected behavior and will this cause any issues later on?setting up RAID1 i want both drives to be exactly same and right now efi will not let that happen

for example if the drive with the /boot/efi is the one that fails, i hope this wont be a problem when relying on the protection of RAID1 but it essentially setup for failure from the beginning
