Disk Druid after install?

Hi guys,
Possibly a bit of a noob question but I've only been doing linux for 7-8 months and Fedora for a couple of months. I'm trying to set up a striped raid array over an external scsi stack with 7 hard drives in it. These are detected fine and a manual mount works ok so I know they're working.
Setting the drives up as a raid array and mounting them all to a single mount point looked like it would have been easy at install time using the disk druid. Trouble is I didn't do it then and now there seems to be no way to get access to the druid.

Does anyone know any way to run it post install? Or any other way to get a nice friendly gui tool to help me set this up. I'm a great fan of the command line but sometimes a gui tool is just so much quicker.

Cheers,
Mongoose.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but diskdruid can only be executed on install. And I don't know of any partition utilities for linux after install.

Cheers Toshiro, that's what I suspected. Looks like it's the command line after all. Better go and do some reading. I'm ok using fdisk or sfdisk to create all the partitions but as for setting up the raid stuff I haven't got a clue.
Thanks for the help.

Fantastic ilja, this looks like exactly what I am after. Just installing it now to give it a go.

Thanks very much for the advice man.
