Heinz,
I thought I would forward this one to you just in case there is a bug on the
delete. It is probably just my limited understanding of dmraid, but I thought
after I deleted the partition in cfdisk and then deactivated the device
(nvidia_ecaejfdi) node nvidia_ecaejfdip9 should disappear? It is still there.
How do I get rid of it? This is on Archlinux. Here is a bit more info about my
setup:

Huh??? Why wasn't nvidia_ecaejfdip9 deactivated. I have deleted the partition
in cfdisk, tried to activate it (y) and deactivate it (n) and still it is
there. Is this a bug? Or do I need to erase the metadata in some other way??
