Maybe we could get setmax into extras. It seems like a tool people might have use for. I built it and used it read only and it seemed to work. I got some warnings about exit because it is missing: #include <stdlib.h> But otherwise it compiled cleanly. I didn't want to try set an HPA on any of my drives, to see if that worked.
