I see.  Thanks for the explanation.  I suppose the current raid
implementations' metadata handling on partially built devices isn't
developed enough to simply mark those trimmed blocks as unsynced?  If
raid consistency truly is the only reason for this, that approach
seems way more fruitful to me than playing this optional feature game
with hardware vendors which so often leads to eventual abysmal
outcomes.

Thanks.
