How to install a fedora on a stiped LVM?

[statik213]

I'm still new to linux and been learning about LVMs. Now I know that you can either stripe a LVM (like RAID-0) or concat them (like JBOD). Before ppl. start yelling, I know LVM is not the same as RAID, I'd like to have a striped LVM and install fedora on it.

I started the normal Fedora graphial install and I created two LVM physical volumes on both my HDDs, when I select both PVs and click LVM it doesn't give me the option between striped and concat'd LVM. Does anyone know which is chosen by anaconda by default?

I guess, I could create a striped software RAID and then put the LVM PV on it. But isn't this a (lot of) wasted overhead i.e. LVM->Software RAID->Physical Disk as opposed to LVM->Physical Disk.

Any ideas? I don't have linux installed on this machine. is there a bootable utility CD i could d/l (fedora rescuecd?) to create the required partitions/LVMs and install fedora on it?

TIA!

From what i can tell lvcreate always creates striped volumes, I just don't know what the default values that FC uses for number of stripes.
