I have created mirror /dev/md_d0 on /dev/hda and /dev/hdb and then create
/dev/md_d0p1 boot partition 64 MB and root /dev/md_d0p2. If I make
partition /dev/hda1 then how it is possible to create patitionable array on
the whole disk? If this will be OK:

mdadm -C /dev/md_d0 -ap5 -l1 -n2 /dev/hd[ab]

And what about to create first partition on the mirror (/dev/md_d0p1) with
64kb offset instead of creating such partition on the array member's
(i.e. /dev/hda1)? Is it right way?
