Package: installation-reports
Severity: minor

While testing RAID creation I realized that if you create the RAID
volume before finishing the partition table, then the partition table
is broken, because the kernel cannot acknowledge the new partition.

Actually, I realized that this was somewhat explained in the pre-RAID
screen, but not strongly enough.  I didn't get the message until I had
already broken the partition table.

So, what I'm suggesting is to make the message a bit stronger like:

DO NOT CREATE ANY RAID VOLUMES UNTIL YOU'VE **FINISHED** WORKING ON THE
PARTITION TABLE.

:).  I know you don't like to change template for translation reasons,
but please keep this in mind.  The present message is not strong enough.

I think the current behaviour of partman is fine, and as we had no
further comments on this bug for a while, I am closing it.

Cheers,
