yes, you are right - I didn't know that myself ;) Of course I should have
guessed - our mkfs on other UNIX flavours does access the character (raw)
interface rather than buffered (block) one so the port to Linux had to do
the RAW_SETBIND magic and do the same...
Thanks for the patch - it works beautifully, added to my linux-vxfs chunk
but I hope Linus takes it into pre5.

Tigran
