Ok, I backed everything up and got the array all rebuilt, data copied back over, added the 4th disk and grew the array.
Now I have this problem though:
I was following a couple different guides...
Thanks for all of the help. Had to be an fdisk bug. I don't know how it ever let me set it up that way. I am backing up the data now and will rebuild the array, formatting with cfdisk this time. ...
Well I just tried sfdisk as well and tried specifying the disk size to the same as the other drives in the array, and that won't let me do it either, says it exceeds the maximum allowable size. It's...

After doing some reading on LVM, I don't see a reason that I would need to implement it in my setup. I will only be dealing with one partition on a RAID5 array, so I don't see the need for the...
