You could, for example, have a complete disk in a partition used for a
virtual machine. But that's about the only
thing that pops in my head :)
I'm thinking of removing the option to write a BFS filesystem to a raw
disk (in the gui at least) I've seen count less you tube videos of
people unknowingly formatting BFS
over a raw disk (which really isn't what they meant to do 100% of the
time.
This doesn't *prevent* advanced users from doing this, it just forces
them to use the command line tools.
I don't like this much, as you can also easily create images, and format
those via DriveSetup, also for example
encrypted images -- why would I want to waste time with an extra
partitioning system there?
Maybe have an alert instead that explains what the user is about to do
instead? Dunno.
