I'll look further into this tomorrow. What's confusing, to me, is that
I'd expect linking problems to show up earlier, at load-time. It seems
like some dynamic/runtime loading is happening here, either explicitly
by arla, or by some glibc internals.

Not sure. If a disk is broken, I think you would get EIO, not ENODEV.
I've only seen ENODEV when you try to open a device node, and the
kernel doesn't recognize the device numbers. Some candidate errno
values: ENOTCONN, EPIPE, EIO.
