I'm not entirely sure where dev.ID_ etc are supposed to be coming
from, but if it's that `blkid -p -o udev /dev/block/8:0` then I'm
afraid CentOS 5's blkid doesn't understand the -p or -o udev options,
it doesn't produce any output for whole drives with partition tables,
and there isn't a /dev/block directory. It's blkid 1.0.0 from
e2fsprogs 1.39-23.el5_5.1.

If that knocks CentOS 5 support on the head then so be it...
Hmm, udevinfo might be of some use. Still doesn't say it's found a DOS
partition table, but it does get you e.g. ID_FS_TYPE=linux_raid_member and perhaps `file -s` will tell you there's DOS partition table (sort of).
I'll look into this when I have a new CentOS 5 VM installed on my laptop.  I do want lsdrv to work with all of the CentOS 5 releases.
I've been playing with lsdrv in a CentOS 5 VM, and found a number of items to address.  The result has been pushed to github, with a detailed description.  Please give it a whirl.

(Further bug reports should be posted there...  trying to keep the noise down on linux-raid.)
