I think we need to do something about this. Is this why we had all that
ID bullshit in the old code, I wonder?

I really, really dislike the idea of Device classes having knowledge
about the Storage object.

I second that.

Maybe we should be storing protectedPartitions
as a UUID so we can avoid this nonsense. How does that strike you?


That might work, do all potential devices always have a uuid I wonder?

It might be good to also look at the first patch of my set, that
adds a new immutableDevices array, we might want to remove
protectedPartitions and use immutableDevices for the hd media
containing partition too while we are making changes.

(I could not use protectedPartitions for the 1st patch of this set
 as that would give a wrong reason for disallowing editing to the
 user, we could also change protectedPartitions to be like
 the new immutable devices, so contain uuid, reason tupples)

Hans
