Well, if you are talking Any Smith's (and my) advice, I'd do the
following:
* Umount the partition on the RAID array.
* Move /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf aside.
* Put partitions on each of the four drives. Don't bother to put a file
system on any of them.
* Use the same command line you did before, *except* use the partitions
you just created instead of the drives, to create the RAID array.
* Create the LVM stuff you need.
* Lay down an ext4 file system on logical volumes as needed.
* Add the LVs to /etc/fstab as needed.
