What is NOT obvious: for single device installs, if you omit the size in the create mount point dialog, the size of the resulting volume will consume all remaining space. But since there's no way to preset raid5 at the time a mount point is created (raid5 is set after the fact), there isn't a clear way to say "use all remaining space for this". There's just a size field for the volume, and a space available value in the lower left hand corner.
Well, maybe it's just me. I've started Linux on Slackware 7.1 and used pretty much every major and minor distribution under the sun. I know my way around Slackware, Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, Gentoo, Arch and many more, and my favourite installer is - and will always be - Slackware's bone-headed NCurses installer that lets the admin do pretty much what he wants - and needs - to do. CentOS 5.x's text mode installer got pretty close, but then, for mysterious reasons, Red Hat decided to cripple it into oblivion. Go figure.
I love CentOS, been using it since 4.x. But frankly, CentOS 7's installer is an abomination.
All's well that ends well. It only took me a day and a half to figure out how to configure RAID 5 using the graphical assistant. Something I could have done in less than three minutes using fdisk and mdadm --create.
