pvcreate is the first step of creating LVM areas. If you're not going to use LVM then you don't need to pvcreate. However I recommend that you _do_.

Yea I guess I was rather vague. I do plan to carve up the md device w/ lvm once it's up. Historically I run pvcreate on lvm partitions for various reasons.

Should I create an pvm partition on the md0 device? I was not even sure I could...

If you are going to use the whole disk, there is no need to bother with partitions at all. Just pvcreate the whole device.
