Are you using mdadm? (It sound it, but I don't know what else is out there.)
If so, just as a point of reference, I set mine up with mdadm, and it set it
to /dev/md0. I just did a "ls" of /dev/md* and got:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 0 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 1 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 10 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md10
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 11 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md11
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 12 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md12
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 13 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md13
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 14 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md14
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 15 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md15
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 2 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 3 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 4 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 5 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 6 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 7 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md7
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 8 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md8
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 9 2001-06-02 14:23 /dev/md9
I don't know if this helps, but it would lead me to believe that the problem
is that somehow it's working with the wrong device (/dev/md/0), but that's
just a guess.
