has caused the Debian Bug report #243024,
regarding Unable to modify disks on a machine with Mylex Acceleraid 170 RAID
controller (DAC960 controller). This is because of the unusual partition scheme used
by the driver: the first logical disk is /dev/rd/c0d0 and the partitions are
/dev/rd/c0d0p1, /dev/rd/c0d0p2, etc. Howerver parted expects the naming scheme to be
the usual for devfs (../disc, ../part1, ../part2, and so on). As a result partman
attempts to mount/format unexisting devices. I do not know how to fix this. In my
opinion this is not a bug in parted but in the DAC960 driver.

The debian installer is unable to modify disks on a machine with Mylex
Acceleraid 170 RAID controller (DAC960 controller). This is because of
the unusual device file scheme used by the driver with devfs file
system: the first logical disk is /dev/rd/c0d0 and the partitions are
/dev/rd/c0d0p1, /dev/rd/c0d0p2, etc.
Please use the usual for devfs naming scheme: ../disc, ../part1,
../part2, and so on.
