Indeed I do not see the type 'fd' ... I can only assume then that this does
differ from the Bering uClibc version.  I don't have a  dachstein box
available, so I cannot test this.  I have been able to successfully mount a
raid device under a Bering setup.  I don't know if this is an option for you
or not.  If it is not, what I would suggest is reading up on using raid with
a 2.2 kernel.  There must be some difference.

My apologies for not being more helpful.  I will also read up on raid
devices...

Joey

This doesn't seem available.  I don't see an fd type or anything related
to a raid type?  Perhaps you're thinking a later version that
Dachstein's kernal?
