Hello,

At the moment, i'm using fdisk,  but this bug is really embarrasing when
you try  to setup RAID array  during the install process  (you can't use
partman to setup RAID). I think  it could be related with parted, that's
why i have reassigned  partman bug to parted and merge it,  i hope it is
correct...

I'm  using  Sun  partition table.  I  put  the  0xFD flag  ("Linux  RAID
autodetect") with fdisk, but i wasn't able to add this flag with parted.

Regards,
