All of them "worked," inasmuch as they created /dev/md0, but in all cases it was partitionless. Which I assumed implied that /dev/sd[a-d]2 was valid on all disks, though, in hindsight, I wasn't explicit. So: /dev/sd[a-d]2 exists on all drives as partition id "fd" (Linux raid autodetect). It's /dev/md0 that shows as a valid, 4.4 TB disk... with no partition. -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
