I realize that the example below is ugly, sorry for that :(

Basically what I'm asking is, can't I just specify /dev/sdX in raidtab or do
I actually have to specify each and evry single partition on the disk for
the array to work - i.e., /dev/sdX#   ????

Please see below if you can deal with the lousy formatting.
