So how do I do this as an LVM (and then put down the ext3
partitions....).


The obvious answer would be by using another tool. What else do you
like using? Are you happy with using the command line?


I can use the command line when it is either something I use a lot (like
grep!) or I can copy and paste from instructions into a terminal window :)

I don't know of any other tools. I would use yumex to see what is in the
repo.


Well I read some stuff and the dialog window and realized that I could
first format it as EXT4 then change it to LVM. That seems to have
worked. Now to put it in place on the server and setup the LVM partition.


When you get there, I'd use a formatting option that does a proper bad
block check, as well. It'll take ages, but it's better to find out that
you've got a bad drive before you start using it.

Smart gives the drive a thumbs up. Often the hardware of such devices
busily mask any bad blocks on the drive so you always come up clean.
