I have two servers running Slackware 14.0 here, one a production server, 
the other a sandbox for fiddling around. One is formatted using FD, the 
other using DA. Both seem to work OK.

For consistency's sake, I always use a naming scheme pointing to the 
underlying devices, e. g. "md1" for the array consisting of sda1, sdb1, 
sdc1, ..., "md2" for the array consisting of sda2, sdb2, sdc3, and so 
on. This also works with Slackware 14.0.
