The RAID partition is not seen. Only the third drive using LVM is present in 
Fedora installation.

LVM can be setup on both. But I just re-read howtos and it seems that setting 
LVM on partition (ie. /dev/sdb4) versus all disk (ie. /dev/sdb) is preferred 
because can ease LVM detection by others OS.
