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.

Wasn't there some gotchas' regarding LVM's and ext4?? I might be imagining things things...
