    I figured that out when I shoved the drive in and CentOS 4 just 
stared at me, like nothing happened...

    Note: I have since then rebuild the machine with CentOS 5, and since 
doing so the drives were already in the chassis so I never tried doing 
this with v5 yet.  Maybe some time in the future as we add more drives 
to the system...
