MD will put its superblock at the end of the partition and shrink the space visible to the filesystem a bit. If you are creating a new filesystem and know you are going to mirror it later, you can specify how many blocks the filesystem should occupy on the mkfs command line. Leave some space for the MD superblock at the end. Or - if you have an existing filesystem - use resize2fs to chop off a few blocks before making the partition an MD component. -- Martin K.
