OTOH, gparted doesn't see my software raid array either. Gparted it rather practical for regular plain vanilla partitions, but for more advanced stuff and filesystems, fdisk is probably better.
For filersystems > 2TB, you're better off grabbing a copy of GPT fdisk.
Even better, use LVM and stay away from partitioning completely.
Is it not ok to build the filesystem straight onto the device and not bother with patitioning at all.
Of course it is ok. The default install will put your filesystem directly on LVs (of course). If you're referring to PVs directly on a scsi device then that is fine to.
