Having the partition stuff on the file_system resource doesn't seem  
right.  On the other hand where should it go? To a Partition resource  
like this?

partition '/dev/sda' do
  device '/dev/sda'
  table 'GPT'
  partitions [ {:type => :raid , :start => '0GB' , :end => '5GB'} ,  
{:type => :raid , :start => '5GB' , :end => '10GB'} ]
  action :partition
end

partition '/dev/sda' do
  device '/dev/sda'
  table 'MBR'
  partitions [ {:type => 82 , :start => '0GB' , :end => '2GB'} ,  
{:type => 83 , :start => '2GB' , :end => :remaining} ]
  action :partition
end


The file_system and raid resource are looking pretty good.
