 The disklabel(8) should  be modified, so that when -w  is used, the disk
 is NOT read prior to writing. In my PR, the work around is documented:
 
 	dd if=/dev/zero ... 
 
 It should  not be neccessary,  AFAIU. Thanks for reopening,  although, I
 don't see, why it is being suspended -- it is hardly even analyzed :)
