Take a close look at your new device sizes.  The hardware raid almost
certainly shortened the devices to fit its own metadata on the end.  MD
v1.2 metadata contains enough info to reject the SB if the used space
doesn't fit the device.

You should look if your MegaRAID has a 'JBOD' mode for the drives.

Phil
