md arrays can be partitioned just like other block devices (2.6)
This is useful for...
See the -a|--auto
option in the mdadm man page for full details.
Simply create your array like this:
mdadm --create /dev/media ... --auto p4
which tells mdadm to automatically create 4 partitions (it defaults to 5).
and mdadm will create:
/dev/media /dev/media1 /dev/media2 /dev/media3 /dev/media4
for you.
