# gdisk -l /dev/md0
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/md0: 3907037184 sectors, 1.8 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 1EB47793-0CDF-4E16-AE84-33EC825AC448
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907037150
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 3907037117 sectors (1.8 TiB)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name

What is very interesting is that

shows that I have two different identifiers for the array

here it is even not a UUID its a PTUUID

Not sure what that means.

Talking you for your ideas and assistance.
