Can you take a look? Follows the script, which isn't 100% triggered, but still easy. #create level 1 with 2 devices, meta 1.0 mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb -e 1.0 #create partition 0, start from 0 sector, size 100MiB sgdisk -n 0:0:+100MiB /dev/md0 #observe partitions cat /proc/partitions #stop the array mdadm -S /dev/md0 #re-assemble mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb cat /proc/partitions Thanks, Ming
