Given we fully support Intel extended partitions, I really don't even see a use for this.You could, for example, have a complete disk in a partition used for a virtual machine. But that's about the onlything 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 BFSover 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.Yeah, the disk image point is a good one. The alert was the other option, and definitely makes sense.
These changes added in hrev44462. (minus the warning alert, need to figure out where to add this)
Please test and provide feedback! :) -- Alex
