  Device Boot  Start     End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdh1      1       91201   732572001   fd  Linux raid autodetect

It doesn't need to boot.   And the 3rd member doesn't need to 
autodetect, although I do want to be able to mount it independently if 
needed.   Should it work to use the raw disk instead of a partition?
