Once you do anything to a whole disk, whether make an md array out of it, or mkfs it or anything else, you can kiss any partitioning goodbye. Maybe what you want to do it make an md array and then partition that. In 2.6 you can do that directly. In 2.4 you would need to use LVM to partition the array.
