When an array is created or modified, new disks are added. The add command

If the user only specifies a device e.g. /dev/sda, mdadm will claim the disk
has been added
and show all normal indications and messages for the device.
To be sure that I understand you correctly, can you clarify for me which
case you're after:
a) the correct device to be added is /dev/sda (without a /dev/sda1 being
present) and that doesn't work like you described.
or
b) the correct device to be added is /dev/sda1 (which is being present)
but when you add /dev/sda instead, it doesn't work like you described.
Regards,
Daniel
