Not only that any /dev/zero-created empty file that we are about to disklabel during the release process causes this bogus warning (until it's disklabeled -B), but fooimage above was an cd9660 image, so the warning is not of much use. Since the warning is not of interest for ``ordinary people'' anyway, i'd vote for hiding it behind some debugging option (perhaps enabled via sysconfig). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
