For me I have things like
sda1
sdb2
sdc3
sdd4
and I align the partitions to the physical slot.
This makes it easier to see what is the failed disk; "sdc3 has fallen out of
the array; that's the disk in slot 3".
Because today's sdc may be tomorrow's sdf depending on any additional disks
that have been added or kernel device discover order changes or whatever.
