Use LVM, that is the real way people deal with huge RAID arrays in real life. Partitions just aren't flexible enough. But be careful with your root device, anything other than simple RAID1 will give you trouble there (as in it is not impossible, but it is non-trivial to arrange the kernel to boot from it). Do notice that you must have the LVM device ON TOP of RAID, not the other way around. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
