I'm seeing this bug in an install of 10.04.1, although this may be
related to my creating the RAID 1 array before hand, since with the
WD20EARS drives otherwise the cylinder alignment isn't right - or at
least I can't see how to make it so.

Is there a work-around? Or do I have to entirely reinstall leaving (how
much) extra space after the partitions? Or ...? I know a bug report
isn't the perfect fit for talking about workarounds. Still, people do
look for them here. I'm sure I'm not the only Ubuntu user who never uses
Ubuntu's installer to set up partitions. I've also had cylinder
alignment issues with it on true hardware RAID in the past. It's far
less awkward to just boot and partition from something like System
Rescue Disk, and then go to the Ubuntu install. Except it looks like for
the current state of things I filled to disks too far?

Or what does it take to move to the "newer mdadm metadata format"? Is
there a grub that _does_ support it?
