FC7, soft raid installation in installed system


To show my (lack of) knowledge....

I have a PC with
10GB HDD as 1st Master
DVD as 1st Slave
2 160GB as 2nd Master and Slave
2 160GB on a plug-in IDE controller as 3rd Master and Slave

When I boot from the installation DVD the drives on the plug-in controller are not recognized which is why I also didn't "use" the other two 160GB's. Installed FC7 on the small 1st Master and did the updates.

After booting ALL HDD's are recognized.

Now my problem starts. What tool do I use to make a RAID array from my 4 large drives?? I found a lengthy CLI method but that can't be true. My previous distro had a simple GUI program to do that task. I installed gparted but can't find any way to make the md0 with it (I can format the drives and set the flag to raid).

Do I really have to enter several dozen lines in the CLI to get that task done in FC7??? (I'm using KDE if that matters). Is there an "after market" Disk Druid?

Thanks,

Juergen
