This doesn't seem to work for me. After creating the RAID devices, attempting to create any LVM partitions of any size results in "insufficient space". What am I doing wrong? How can I create an LVM partition on top of a RAID partition? Given that the RAID partitions constrain the size of the partitions anyway, , perhaps it's not even helpful to have LVM for the purposes of resizing anyway? Maybe my approach should instead to be to create a basic /boot RAID1 partition, then RAID5 the entire rest of the disk as one big partition? This reference seems to indicate the steps provided above are indeed correct, and perhaps this is a limitation of the installer? http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php I can't believe it would be so difficult to create RAID partitions and use them with LVM. Maybe they are reserving this capability for RHEL? Thanks for any ideas.
