You will need to destroy the raid with mdadm or write 0s to the beginning and end of each drive. Information on the raid assembly is written on each member
Trying to remove all traces of the old software RAID capability so
there's no conflict with the ZFS creation. So far I have:
1. Unmounted the array from its mountpoint:
# umount /pub
2. Removed the array's entry from /etc/fstab:
/dev/md127p1 /pub ext4 defaults 1 1
3. Disable creation of the array at next boottime:
# mv /etc/mdadm.conf /etc/mdadm.conf.backup
I've obviously missed something because upon reboot, dmesg says:

md: bind<sdf>
md: bind<sdi>
md: bind<sdk>
md: bind<sdg>
md: bind<sdh>

Can someone please suggest what's doing the drive detection and logical
metadrive assembly?
