That message is a little misleading. What happened was you created an
array out of disks with existing data on them. Only the superblock gets
rewritten, the rest of the drive just gets resynced, not erased. So
your existing partition table is still there.
More than a little misleading. I'd call the message downright wrong.
I'll consider reporting it to BZ.
