(1) Please don't top post.
(2) Command line is possible, but I don't find it easier. It kind of
goes against the principle we've been follow
Hi,
I suggest You to try it command line. I have done it myself, for me it is
easier.

LVM is a form of storage virtualization.

Or a RAID array when setting up LVM on top of it, correct?

Hi,
I'm trying to install FC14 x86_64 on a quad-core AMD box with 4 1TB
SATA disks, and have some questions about partitioning.
I'd like to create a RAID5 array with no spares, using all four disks.
There isn't room in the chassis for more disks, and they will never be
replaced with larger ones.
