I just found something that probably indicates the problem to those who
can understand these things.  The command

 udevadm info --query=env --name=/dev/sdc

has these extra line that a similar query on any other disk does not have:

ID_FS_USAGE=raid
ID_FS_TYPE=ddf_raid_member
ID_FS_VERSION=02.00.00
ID_FS_UUID=_$
ID_FS_UUID_ENC=\x20\x20\x20\x20\xfa\x24\x0c


Anybody have any idea what this means?
