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?

Any other suggestions?

Partition type 'fd' is what you should use for raid partitions, it just doesn't show up in the options list because the fdisk binary for Dachstin is pretty dated. You can still enter partition type 'fd', which your fdisk will just list as 'unknown' (and newer versions will list as raid autodetect).


That shouldn't be your problem, however, as I don't think the raid-tools stuff cares about the partition type...that's mainly needed for correct auto-detection of raid by the kernel when booting.

I'm still thinking about what else might be wrong...
