Ok - that helped. The raid arrays work now. > And any self-respecting filesystem doesn't touch the first sector of the > partition for that very reason. Unless Linux raid autodetect partitions > are broken. It has to be a (kernel) problem with raid autodetect because /dev/sda1 also starts at cylinder 0 and that one always works.
