I guess this is where I am confused, what needs to be done manually and
what needs to be done through the gui.  When I originally installed the
drive (new, not partitioned), it was not recognized by the gui at all.
All I saw was the original entry for my existing 'home' partition, and
even that was greyed out.  I had *no* option to do *anything* related to
storage via the gui.

Is the partitioning of a new drive normally done via the gui?  If so,
I'm not sure why it's not recognizing the existence of it.
