No. Reco's answers contradict the very first sentence of my first
e-mail.
Is this possible?
How can Reco's answers contradict that.
Reco's answers echoed pretty much exactly what I would have said. If you
don't know how to get from those answers to exactly what you want then
you need to be a lot more precise in the requirements.
There is a mdadm mode with no metadata at all. check the --build option.
I've never used it though...
But as Reco suggested, easiest and safest is probably to make space for
the superblock.
