Right, that's why gparted should not pass -P and change the default
behavior.  It should just let dmraid use the name it wants, and follow
along.  On Maverick and before, Ubuntu has patched dmraid to never add
the 'p'.  We dropped that patch in Natty, but now it sounds like either
both dmraid and parted need patched to only add the 'p' when the last
character was already a digit.  Or patching kpartx/multipath-tools to
always add the 'p' so that they are in agreement would work too.

Whether the 'p' is added always or only when the last character is a
digit, either way gparted needs to not pass -P to dmraid and alter its
normal behavior, or you end up with duplicate devices.
