> Unbreaking block devices would be a better solution.

for those of us
  o who *must* use vmware/windoze and
  o occasionally need to be able to dual boot as all devices can 
    not be virtualized

my understanding is that raw partitions must work, and must work well.
and further that block devices are needed to implement this.

please don't drive us to <shudder> linux.  lack of vm3 support, and
the rude response to offers to help with it, are bad enough already.
