Ah, yes, I missed the raid1 part on the original post.

So I do not understand why it does not work correctly for
him to mount either device.  Maybe this problem is not
what I see in my testing (using 32) with disk partitions
instead of loop.

With partitions, I only see the mount problem on raid0,
not on raid1.
