Does this happen for default/common/etc LVM/RAID setups? If it only 
happens in some unusual combination then it's probably not worth 
documenting it in the Release Notes (but a bug against the correct 
packages would still make sense).

Otherwise feel free to ask on -doc or even open a bug against the 
package release-notes. Do provide an accurate (reproducible) description 
of the problem and if possible also suggested text for inclusion (or 
even a patch).

Kind regards,
Andrei
