Are you using LVM as the final filesystem? This seems like a needless complication unless you really plan on expanding things in the future. It is easier just to format using ext4.
Bill, Reading a couple of LVM docs I see that I need to run mkfs.ext4 on disks /dev/sde/ and /dev/sdf/ to put the filesystem on them. I'm not seeing how to determine if all four drives are in the same volume group (VG) or in separate logical volumns (LV); I suspect the latter since fdisk -l shows four separate devices. Rich
