Exactly. Except the partitions extend, in the same positions, across
all the disks.
You cannot remove one disk from the array and repartition it, because
the partition is across the array, not the disk. The single disk,
removed from a RAID 5 (specified by Paul Hartman) array does not
contain any partitions, just one stripe of them.
I apologise if I'm misunderstanding something here, or if your RAID
works differently to mine.
Stroller.
