I created the array with: sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0
--level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
As far as I know this used the default chunk size. I checked the status
with: cat /proc/mdstat
After the array has been created I formated it with: sudo mkfs.ext4 -F
/dev/md0
I saved the configuration with: sudo mdadm --detail --scan | sudo tee -a
/etc/mdadm.conf
I created the mountpoint: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/raid
I mounted it: sudo mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid
Updated the fstab for automount: echo '/dev/md0 /mnt/raid ext4 defaults
0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

Yes I choose GPT intentional as each of the HDDs exceed 2TB but they did
loose the "Linux RAID" Flag after the reboot.
