That's a good argument for not using "whole disk" array members, a partition can

Not really, at least with the modern metadata versions this is not a problem,
as the whole-disk array members will start the actual data at an offset that is
suitably aligned for the AF drives.
When did that start? And how does it handle adding a new drive to an array
created back under 2.6 which didn't do that? Good to be aware of, though.
