I see. Now an issue arises someone else here mentioned: My first attempt was to use the entire disks, then I was hinted that this approach wasn't too hot so I made partitions. Now the devices have all two superblocks, the one left from the first try which are now kinda orphaned and those now active. Can I trust mdadm to handle this properly on its own?
