Re: Whole drives or Only partitions for mdadm software RAIDs?

Also, if you ever replace a drive there is a distinct chance that the drive will
be a different size (even if it is the same model).

After being bitten by this I always make partition a few Mb smaller than the device.

Thanks Justin. If that's the only risk, I'll go with full devices. This
will ultimately be a headless system with a separate boot drive and only
administered by me and used internally, so I'll be careful. :-)

Many thanks!
