Does anyone know if you can setup software RAID or change disk 
partitions after a CentOS 5 32 bit installation is complete? I have a 
new server provisioned with 2 x 1TB drives and the default partitioning 
is the following. It seems like there is way too much under / and I'm 
afraid of how long it would take (and whether I would lose data) to run 
fsck if they server hangs. Also, I'm thinking software RAID would be a 
good idea, but I don't know if you can add it. I haven't done anything 
else on the server since it was provisioned. Thanks.

it is a 3-way partition as follows 4GB for swap, 250 MB for boot, and then the rest
