Bug#392042: software RAID volumes can not be partitioned

[Shaya Potter <spotter@yucs.org>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

debian installer lets one setup a raid fairly easily.  however, it gives 
no indication that one can't partition an array, but one has to 
partition the base disks and create the arrays out of the partitions.

In fact, the installer will go ahead an partition the disk for if you 
tell it to do it automatically.  took me way too long to figure out what 
the problem was, as I'm used to using 3ware cards where they just deal 
with whole disks, and I'd partition the array itself.
