S-Series may fail to partition RAID volume

Issue

S-Series models running Ubuntu 18.04, may fail to create some partitions.  

This issue is not easily noticeable in exacqVision Client, unless the end user looks closely to observe gaps in the partition list.  It can be more easily detected from terminal.  Notice the “b” flag is missing indicating a non-block device.
