Rik's original report is describing symptoms with known cause (mdadm
needs adjusting to send its ioctls to the entire block device, and the
kernel needs to be more tolerant of known cases of partition abuse in
userspace as they are discovered), so reopening.

Jan, if you want to pursue a fix to the freeze you found (as opposed
to the "sending ioctl <num> to a partition!" warnings), please file a
new bug.

Thanks and sorry for the fuss,
Jonathan
