The man page is a great place for describing, eg, the superblock location; but
don't forget we have
http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/Main_Page
which is probably a better place for *discussions* (or essays) about the
superblock location (eg the LVM / v1.1 comment Janek picked up on)
In fact I was going to take some of the writings from this thread and put them
up there.
