Please try the following script:

```
#sd[de] lbs is 512, sdf is 4096
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/sd[de] --assume-clean

#512
cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size

#create md0p1
printf "g\nn\n\n\n\nw\n" | fdisk /dev/md0
lsblk | grep md0

mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sdd
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdf

#4096
cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size

#partition loss
partprobe /dev/md0
lsblk | grep md0
```
