So although the above message says the existing partition table will be lost, for some reason I'm still getting a partition, while you apparently didn't. I copied the --create command directly from the man page. Is this not the "standard" way you mentioned in an earlier reply?
That message is a little misleading. What happened was you created an array out of disks with existing data on them. Only the superblock gets rewritten, the rest of the drive just gets resynced, not erased. So your existing partition table is still there.
Finally, the /run/media/... etc. mounts now show my existing data. All the same, the disk lights are busy and I expect them to be going all night.
Yes, all the data that was on it before is still there and it's going to do a full resync again like it did the first time you created the array. The partition was detected by udev and your desktop environment auto-mounted it for you.
