Hi, This week I finally got a handle on a very annoying partitioning error that can occur when installing on a system that already had software RAID devices before starting the installation. When a pre-existing RAID is activated, only /dev/mdX block device file are created and not /dev/md/X and only the latter were being allowed for in a check in partman-lvm. The patch below fixes this. Please approve for inclusion in the next point release.
