Greetings,
Bit the bullet and did the install. The partitioner suggested putting
the boot on sdb and that was part of the LVM. I played with the
partitioner and got /, /swap and /home on sda and added the other three
hard drives to a LVM, said not to format the LVM, set the mount point
and did the install. All my files (which were backed up) were intact on
my LVM raid and I was good to go. Of you have a similar situation, give
it a go but read the suggestions from the partitioner carefully.
