I have not had the occasion to test since two days ago when Thomas's remarks made me realize it was possible. > The "firmware may write to it" thing was raised as a concern by a > few people,but always a theoretical one from what I could see. Now that I think a little more, this concern is not only unconfirmed, it is rather absurd. The firmware would never write in parts of the drive that might contain data. At worst, it is possible to cover the RAID header with a dummy partition: label: gpt unit: sectors table-length: 24 sector-size: 512 first-lba: 8 1 : start=8, size=2040, type=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 2 : start=2048, size=30712, type=lvm Regards, -- Nicolas George
