I did it manually, using ext4, first on raid1 (2 active + 1 spare), which failed to boot, after several attempts. Rescue would not help.
Then I destructed raid1 and manually (see above) grub-installed on /sda1, /sdb1, sdc1. Doing the same with raid1 does not worth the time to load a bunch of modules. Besides, the installer refused to build a RAID0 of 2.7TB out of 3 900GB partitions (table too big, see above). As I said, I did not believe it. I easily did it using a simple mdadm --create after installation.
