Question about disk partitioning

[pll at lanminds.com]

Hi all,

According to the docs, it appears that a '-' in a disk config script results in 
a file system which is not mounted.  Does that mean it is also not 
added to the /etc/fstab file?

I have a few systems which have 4 drives in them.  What I want to do 
is build them such that:

	/dev/hda	has the OS installed on them
	/dev/hdb-d	are each one huge partition containing the entire disk
			then use an 'md' device to mount them as a raid 5
			reiserfs stripe.

I was planning on this for my config file:

	disk_config hdb
	primary -	80000	;

	disk_config hdc
	primary -	80000	;

	disk_config hdd
	primary -	80000	;

Then I'd set up a template /etc/raidtab file and a template /etc/
fstab file which would contain these 3 80GB drives as a giant raid 5 
stripe with a single ReiserFS file system on it.

The question I have now, is how do I get the file system 
auto-formatted?  Would this be where I'd write a hook/script 
somewhere and have it create that file system?

Thanks,
