It scans everything in /dev and all subdirectories?  Wow that would be 
colossally slow and prone to hang.  Imagine trying to access a nd device 
whose server is down.

In any case, if it did scan the dmraid device, it would just complain 
about finding duplicates; it has no way of knowing which one it should 
use.

Also it looks like feisty used 2.2.06 and the config files shipped in 
the package can be found here:
