yes.
raid cannot be partitioned. lvm _is_ partitioning.
so raid5 the 4 disks. put /dev/md0 as the pv into a vg, and then slice it up as
"partitions" with lvm.
as a side benefit you can move the storage from one lv to another lv fairly
easily (something that is near impossible to do with hard disk partitioning).
All the best,
