Robert,
I took a quick gander at util-linux source, and it is just reading 
  /sys/class/block/<KERNEL_NAME>/removable

There isnt' any util-linux specific knowledge that says "this is
removable", but rather its just telling you what the kernel is telling
it.

Would you mind posting/attaching:
 sudo lshw
?

I really suspect at this point that kernel is reporting "correctly", and
that curtin probably has an incorrect idea of what "removable" means. So
I'm goign to move this off util-linux and to curtin for now.

Title:
  Drives mistakenly reported as removable

Status in curtin:
  Confirmed
Status in curtin package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have multiple servers which report their drives are removable, even
  though the drives are the main drives in the device (/dev/sda,
  /dev/sdb, etc). One of such machines (an IBM system x3650 M1) I have
  pulled a report from lsblk and lshw below and included them. These are
  configured using the RAID controller that came with the machine. I can
  provide any other information needed. I am seeing the same on a HP
  proliant DL100 g2. In this case the removable tag is triggering a
  problem with curtin since curtin currently refuses to install to
  drives reported as removable by lsblk.
