Interesting side note: the mobo datasheet notes that the motherboard comes with utilities to set up RAID arrays. But there doesn't seem to be any benefit of doing it on the motherboard over doing it in the Ubuntu partitioner.
In the partitioner, I deleted the partitions that were automatically generated and started each drive off with a new partition table.Then I partitioned the drives as follows: * /dev/nvme0n1 (aka the 400 GB Intel SSD)** entire space (~400 GB) as primary partition. use as ext4 filesystem, mount point: /, bootable flag off.* /dev/nvme1n1 (aka the 512 GB M.2 drive)** half (~256 GB) as primary partition. use as swap space (bootable flag off).** the other half (~256 GB) as primary partition. use as ext4 filesystem, mount: /var/postgresql, bootable flag off.* for each of the four 3.0 TB hard drives (aka /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd)** 10 MB primary partition, use as "reserved BIOS boot area" (bootable flag can't be changed, so leave it set to off)** the rest of the space as a primary partition, use as ext4 filesystem, mount to /bulk, bootable flag off
