The GNU/Linux operating system is blessed to have sound partition management tools like GParted which are very easy to use. However, when it comes to the management of 'virtual partitions' known as volumes, things are quite different. There is Linux Volume Management, or LVM for short, however it can only really be used from the command line.

No GUI would have prevented this "mess". He kept changing the layout and setup of his partitioning / volume / RAID scheme.
If you want to do something like this (which in this case was utterly pointless beyond a learning exercise) you plan it out ahead of time and start from scratch.
