I see this -F added to ~all filesystem utilities. Is that really
necessary? IIRC there's the Unix philosophy of "everything is a file", so
why is there a difference when giving a filename over /dev/somedisk?
Can't the fools be at least made auto-detect if th eunderlying thing is a
disk image over a real disk?
