Re: md5 becomes mdf when mdadd'ed under 2.1.135 -- expected ?

under Linux you can use another partitioning scheme too, BSD disklabels. 
But any nontrivial combination of block ranges needs something like
LINEAR. But otherwise i aggree that there might be place for a new RAID
level called 'SPLICE' or the ability to partition a RAID device as well.
