For just my purposes, the advantage is that I can treat my md RAID
drives in the same way I treat my hardware RAID drives, which are
bare drives.  It's just easier conceptually for me to not have to
remember to create a partition.  As Warren said, this is for data
volumes, not for arrays that need to host /boot or /.
