Partition type FD is only for metadata 0.90 arrays to be auto-assembled by the kernel. This is now deprecated; you should be using partition type DA (Non-FS data) and an initrd to assemble your arrays.

# mdadm --examine /dev/sdk1
/dev/sdk1:
Magic : a92b4efc
Version : 0.90.03

Metadata version 0.90 does not support devices over 2TiB. I think it's a bug that you weren't warned at some point.

Cheers,

John.
