The real problem (and IMHO this caused several LUKS overwrites recently) is that sometimes it is impossible to distinguish if it is partition or the whole device it is referring. See mdadm man page: | 0.90 format superblock. | This format limits arrays to 28 component devices and limits | component devices of levels 1 and greater to 2 terabytes. | It is also possible for there to be confusion about whether | the superblock applies to a whole device or just the last partition, | if that partition starts on a 64K boundary. (Unfortunately, seems MD wiki with more precise description is still down because of the kernel.org/linuxfoundation servers security breach...)
