I tried qtparted and it only recognises the existence of the FAT
partition---it doesn't know/believe that the CDFS partition is even
there. (They have made the dratted CDFS partition read-only.)

gparted seemed to get slightly closer and output this:

    : gparted
    : ======================
    libparted : 1.8.2
    ======================
    Unable to open /dev/md0 - unrecognised disk label.

df only shows the FAT partition.

: fdisk /dev/md0

Unable to read /dev/md0

So no success so far!
