Ok, here you said "no" to the question if your raid should be managed by md
driver.
The consequences is that your raid is managed by dmraid and your device names
are /dev/mapper/isw_cecaadgiie_Volume0 for the dmraid "disk" and
/dev/mapper/isw_cecaadgiie_Volume0_part[0-9]+ for the "partitions" of that
disk.
In the log attached in initial report you said "Yes" to the question and your
raids were
afterwards managed by md driver. Your raid "disk" was /dev/md126 and your
"partitions"
were /dev/md126p[0-9]+. So this works as expected so far.
The problem with partitioning the dmraid device seems to one with parted.
parted seems to have a problem handling creation (and removal) of logical
partitions on dm devices.
Petr: My tests here show that the problem starts after the first logical
partition
is created (creation partition 5 still works), creation of the second logical
partition (partition 6) fails:
