You've hit a bug here caused by not handling your smartarray properly. I 
haven't tested against these slightly strange controllers before, so I'm 
not surprised you're hitting bugs. In this specific case, the client 
doesn't like the output of the command:

blockdev --getsize64 /dev/cciss!c0d0

To be honest, I'd expect you to hit more bugs on the server side when 
the conversion code tries to rename all your drives.

I'm aware of how common these controllers are, so handling them properly 
is high on the todo list. I've managed to get some hardware to test this 
on, so hopefully I'll fix it soon.
