Comment:

 The removal of /dev/... entries by jam won't be fixed (at least not by
 me). One should simple *not* run jam with the permissions to do that (i.e.
 not as root). Reasonable alternatives are setting the permissions of the
 respective device node as needed, or changing the owning group to
 something the jam user is member of.

 Regarding the supposed partition table changes, I don't see how that can
 possibly happen. The build system *writes* only to the partition given, so
 it can't potentially change the partition table.

 Regarding the build failure, without at least the build output only
 guessing can be done. In r31332 and r32674 problems retrieving the
 partition size have been fixed. Maybe that was related.
