#17060: GUI apps crash if a storage device reports its capacity and block size
to
be 0
-------------------------------+-----------------------------

-------------------------------+-----------------------------
If a hard drive reports both its capacity and its block size to be 0, or
if the capacity is not detected and scsi_periph/block.cpp implicitly sets
both values to 0, GUI apps like DriveSetup and DiskProbe cause kernel
panics when trying to access this drive.
For some reason, it seems that empty CD drives are not affected by this
bug. If CD drives contain no media and report the capacity and/or block
size to be 0, they can still be listed in DriveSetup and accessed by
DiskProbe.
This bug seems to affect both R1/beta2 and the nightlies (hrev55184), at
least the x86_64 versions.
