y2 logs and screenshots from the installer

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.16) Gecko/2009120200 SUSE/3.0.16-0.1 Firefox/3.0.16

In the partitioning phase of the installer:

A. The "RAID Type" of the volume /dev/mdX is "RAID_UNKNOWN" for the MD raid5 volumes. For the MD raid1 volume /dev/md0 it is "RAID1" though.

B. The individual partitions are only shown for one of my four HDDs (i.e. /dev/sdd), even though all four disks are partitioned in the same way.

C. The raid volumes are shown as both /dev/mdX and /dev/mapper/isw_XXX...
   I guess that the raid volumes are assumed to be both MD and DM raid at the same time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose new installation
2. Choose either to edit the proposed partition setup or creating a new one, it doesn't seem to matter.



I currently have openSuse 11.0 installed, but the raid volumes were created in an earlier version of openSuse, probably 10.2.

Now that openSUSE 11.2 is in security/data corruption maintenance-only mode, we'll have to close it as WONTFIX. If you are able to reproduce with openSUSE 11.3 or openSUSE Factory, please re-open.
