Nothing in the documentation (that I read - granted I don't always read everything) stated that partitioning prior to md creation was necessary - in fact references were provided on how to use complete disks. Is there an "official" position on, "To Partition, or Not To Partition"? Particularly for my application - dedicated Linux server, RAID-10 configuration, identical drives.
My simplistic reason for always making one partition on md drives, about 100MB smaller than the full space, has been as insurance to allow use of a replacement drive from another manufacturer, which while nominally marked as the same size as the originals, is in fact slightly smaller.
