Hi,
anyone care to comment why the disk drivers are intended to give the
openmask to the setdisklabel routine, but don't do so? All the drivers
seem to have a comment referencing the openmask, but give a 0 instead.
The current behaviour allows users to screw themselves by e.g. calling
mbrlabel on their main disk on a pc.
Ciao,
Wolfgang
