No.

I'm with Neil for my large arrays. I partition a pair of SSDs for UEFI
boot and a raid mirror holding an LVM volume group for the OS. All
other drives are unpartitioned, given entirely to a raid6 w/ a small
chunk size (16k lately). A separate LVM volume group on top of that.
( I no longer use any bootloader, either, as UEFI will boot a kernel
directly that's been built with EFI_STUB and a nested initramfs. )
