I will be using superblock-enabled devices on all other RAID partitions
on the system, but I thought that having a superblock on this
partition would likely interfere with NTFS (how do you create an
NTFS partition during NT setup and tell it to not use the last 4k
of the partition?) so I figured using a superblock on this particular
device would not be a good idea...
