Not if you're using regular md devices.

For partitionable md arrays using partitions seems a little strange to
me, since you then have partitions on a partition. That'd probably
make it difficult to just mount a single member of a mirror for data
recovery, etc ...

And Neil seems to favour initrd over kernel auto-detection / assembly anyhow.

FWIW, I use whole disks and limit the space used per disk to exactly
the rated capacity, i. e. floor ( ( GB * 10^9 ) / 1024 ) blocks with
the --size parameter.

Regards,

C.
