I see. Now an issue arises someone else here mentioned: 
My first attempt was to use the entire disks, then I was hinted that this 
approach wasn't too hot so I made partitions. 
Now the devices have all two superblocks, the one left from the first try 
which are now kinda orphaned and those now active. 
Can I trust mdadm to handle this properly on its own?
