..Ok. Pol, keep in mind that all drives must be identical size when creating an array on raw disks. That always makes me nervous.

I have seen the case before where a drive has been "kicked out" and when you go to add it back, it is refused as "too small"
Grown defects have shrunk the device.

I find it is safer to make one big partition on each device, and make this a bit smaller than the device.
