Thanks for your elaborate response. If you don't mind, I shall link to it from the FAQ. I have one other question: do partitionable and traditional arrays actually differ in format? Put differently: can I assemble a traditional array as a partitionable one simply by specifying: mdadm --create ... /dev/md0 ... mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm --assemble --auto=3Dpart ... /dev/md0 ... ? Or do the superblocks actually differ?
