This is expected without the --force option:
--force
Insist that mdadm accept the geometry and layout
specified without question.
Normally mdadm will not allow creation of an array with
only one device, and
will try to create a RAID5 array with one missing
drive (as this makes the
initial resync work faster). With --force, mdadm will
not try to be so
clever.
