It seems like it. I just created the above raid configuration with 5 loop devices. Everything behaved just like Michael described. When the wrong drives disappeared - I started getting IO errors.
My mind boggles. I know how to mount an ISO as a loop device onto the file system, but if you'd be so kind, can you give a super-brief description on how to get a loop device to look like an actual partition that can be made into a RAID array? I can see this software-only solution as being quite interesting for testing in general.
