have fun change also the RAID UUID's everywhere
and setup all identical because you have also
internal UUIDs on the RAID-partitions


[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/mdadm.conf
MAILADDR root
AUTO +imsm +1.x -all
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=4 UUID=1d691642:baed26df:1d197496:4fb00ff8
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid10 num-devices=4 UUID=b7475879:c95d9a47:c5043c02:0c5ae720
ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid10 num-devices=4 UUID=ea253255:cb915401:f32794ad:ce0fe396

oh yeah and the tun2fs-output of /dev/md0 is
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ tune2fs -l /dev/md0 | grep UUID
Filesystem UUID:          1de836e4-e97c-43ee-b65c-400b0c29d3aa

again: have fun to reacreate this setup 1:1 after rsync to
new drives - i bet it would not work at the end - well it
may not interest you on your setups, mine are always two
identical machines which are synced daily

which misalignment?

if i switch to SSD some years later as soon as 4x2 TB are at a
normal price i will simply remove disk 1, insert a SSD, rebuild
RAID and after the rbuild the same for the other 3 drives
