Hi, not-ancient versions of Linux MD RAID cope with these issues via two 
different means:
- a write bitmap to track dirty disk regions;
- an embedded bad list sector to remap such sectors when appropriate 
(and without failing the entire array, if possible).

Still, splitting a disk into multiple slices has the specific advantage 
of using different RAID levels on different dataset (which can be very 
valuable in some cases).

Regards.
