Exactly. Except the partitions extend, in the same positions, across |

You cannot remove one disk from the array and repartition it, because |
| 13 |
the partition is across the array, not the disk. The single disk, |
| 14 |
removed from a RAID 5 (specified by Paul Hartman) array does not |
| 15 |
contain any partitions, just one stripe of them. |

I apologise if I'm misunderstanding something here, or if your RAID |
| 18 |
works differently to mine. |
