Hi, If you dont know in advance how your storage is allocated the best way, use lvm. The space you dont need today is in the pool and be it /var/www/html or swap or whatever assign it as needed in the future. Note that its maybe better to not put /boot into lvm. I would suggest

Hi Keith, As a test, you might consider getting a Fedora 14 live CD and see if it can find the drives. If so, it may be the same issue. It's possible that the release version of RHEL 6 supports it, if you can get hold of it to test it, or you may just want to put Fedora 14 on it if the
