Well, properly means properly. As opposite of "f!ck up".
Here: chose the superblocks from the partitions instead of from the entire 
hdd.
There is everything fine with those fs partitions and the array, but there 
seems some old superblocks lying to be around behind those partitions.

More questions: is the raid superblock the same as an "ordinary" file system 
superblock? 
"Zero" the superblock - the orphaned one, I assume? This is not like "zero it 
and linux makes a new one" or so?
