I know - but mdadm was still taking /dev/sda even *without* partitions.
I'm guessing somehow, somewhere, there was some residue from when the disc
may have been in a raid configuration somewhere on another system from
where the disc originated (I have a collection of old discs from a
variety of places where I used to be a sysadmin).
*shrug*
You should write to the mdadm writers as that is really weird . I would hav
zeroed and started from there. There are asking for failure!
