OK, I figured out to use skip in place of seek, but still I can't find the
dmraid data. :-(

dmraid -D just displays an error message "invalid option combination with
-D". :-( dmraid -s -s hpt37x_ccedfbhiib shows a size of 156301440, but gives
no indication where this data that defines it to be that is located. :-(
