You seem to be trying to create a partition on top of a RAID device. As
far as I know there is no standard way to do that (except for using LVM
over RAID).

Instead you should have the partitioner use the whole raid device for a
filesystem.

Since I'm not clear from your description exactly what you're doing (the
use of unclear terms like "RAID partitions" doesn't help), I can't be
more specific.
