I noticed a warning while testing

--> DEPRECATION NOTICE
--> You are using the legacy automatic disk sorting behavior
--> The Pacific release will change the default to --no-auto
--> passed data devices: 1 physical, 0 LVM
--> relative data size: 0.3333333333333333

Note that I'm on Quincy, so maybe they didn't still didn't change it :P

should be integer

Can we add an explicit recommendation against doing it for other disk
types? I imagine it's not beneficial for those, or?

Missing newline after error message.
Could also use raise_param_exc().
