NAK This will break all our management applications, and will not allow us to manipulate the array configurations from within Linux. This will also break online expansion of capacity. This flag has been set from the beginning to allow partition tables, capacity and device locking to be changed without requiring an intervening reboot or needing the device to be taken offline. Fixed disk result in these pieces of information being cached.

This is gross hackery and causes userspace tools to not identify these devices as fixed disks, which most evidently they are. Please apply.
