issue with setup-storage, squeeze, and SW Raid1

I'm not sure I fully understood. I wouldn't quite expect the above disk_config
line to work with any non-experimental version (if it does, it's rather a bug in
the parser, meaning the parser isn't strict enough). For both 3.4.5 and 3.3.5,
however, I would hope things work fine if you just remove the align-at:32256B
part. Could you confirm that?

Thanks a lot,
Michael
