Jens Hi
Sorry for the delay, was unavailable from beginning of the week.
I have tested this. The message no longer shows.
I also hacked to return -EIO if sector ZERO is read, and
the "unable to read partition table" will show, (as well as 16
other messages complaining at other places). So I guess it is
test.
Thanks
Boaz
