We have to fix this. It also kicks in when booting a Desktop CD on a machine which has dmraid disks. The raw partitions on the dmraid disk will not be hidden as they should, and show up in the file browser. If the user now double-clicks on one it will be mounted as a normal partition and the RAID will be out of sync.

Special-casing of the root partition is wrong, we'll have to revert http://git.debian.org/?p=users/derevko-guest/dmraid.git;a=commitdiff;h=1a1b752e13238dcb6ab570b5c2567d3aef4090de and make another workaround to satisfy broken setups, like introducing a "nodmraid" boot parameter. By default, any disk with valid dmraid signatures should be treated as dmraid disks and only be accessed through the device mapper.
