Comment (by bebop):
My biggest problem is that the partition layout in this case is invalid. I
almost feel like not parsing the partition layout in this case is the
correct thing to do, I also realize that it probably freaks people out to
not see any of there partitions. While I like the idea that there is a
limit, how far do we go? And limiting the size of the cut seems rather
arbitrary. I think that adding a read-only flag to the cut off volume is a
great idea, I am not sure, however, if partitions have a notion of read
only though. Maybe Stippi or bonefish can recall off the top of their
head. Otherwise I will investigate tonight and hopefully come up with
something suitable.
