Hi all,
I have a simple question:
Is there any problem using the full hard drive (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc,
etc) as opposed to partitions (/dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, etc) when creating
software RAIDs? I'd rather commit the full device to the RAID since I
am certain I won't use it for anything else, and I am scripting this so
I don't want to have to fdisk every drive before creating a RAID...that
would take far too much time. Most mdadm documentation always refers to
partitions rather than full devices, so I wanted to make sure it was
indeed OK to use full devices.
Please let me know. Thank you all!
Thanks!
Thomas
