[chbot] Urgent help with disk partitioning

[Robin Gilks]

Looks like I shouldn't have added the  GUID partition table (GPT)  using
parted. Managed to delete it and it's rebuilding the raid array now without
a partition (if I create a primary partition the disk is too small).
As you can see, I'm blundering about in the dark here as I can't remember
what I did 8 years ago when I built this system
