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...

Problems getting Raid5 to work. Banging my head against the wall! This doesn't seem available. I don't see an fd type or anything related to a raid type?
