Is this bug worthy? Creating the correct udev rules has defeated me.

When a 3ware 9000 series card is present the devices /dev/twa* should be
created, and they should have fixed_disk_device_t in their security
context so that smartd can monitor the disks.

Against what should the bug be filed, udev?
