Niall and Dermot,
I'm going to take a closer look at this today. I might have been a
little overzealous in the fix here. :/

Hey Drew,
Thanks for fixing these.
I know this has been reviewed and integrated and I would have given it
a +1 too, but I want to point out that I think we have a problem with
target controller if he have to do this:

So we tell target controller to select the disk with
use_whole_disk=True, and then have to follow up afterwards by manually
setting disk.whole_disk to True.
I'd argue this is more of a workaround than anything. Why should I
have to tell the disk it is in whole_disk mode when I have already
asked target controller to set that up with a whole_disk layout for me?
Of course the whole_disk flag is a bit misleading when VTOC and FDISK
are involved vs. GPT. There is higher risk in fixing this in target
controller but that's where the long term fix belongs IMO.
Cheers,
Niall

Good morning!
Could I get a couple of eyes on:

I've tested each of these locally on my test system. Since they're
each checking for "negative" situations, there's no need to do full
installs.
Thanks!
