I'd expect that command to overwrite the partition table with the MD metadata, or at least put the partition table at risk of being overwritten later. No problem, as long as you're aware of it. That's how I usually set my RAID disks up - no partition table, just use the whole disk raw. LVM is a better solution to the partitioning problem. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
