AFAIK, the CKD driver only supports 4 devices per partition.  In the
S/390 world, you generally use 1 per partition and define additional
devices, particularly under VM.

Please file a bug report against partman-base for this issue.
It should probably check that the maximum number of partitions supported by the disk label/partition table is not being exceeded. Not sure yet if
this is an issue in partman or libparted.

Also, read "partitions per device" rather than the other way round. Sorry.
