I get two of these: mount: sending ioctl 5310 to a partition! with Fedora 14 whenever a USB stick is inserted (I changed your patch to also print the name of the program). Let's see if anything else pops up. Anyway, with the changes to print out warnings and still allow it for root, this all looked safe and nice, so they are in my tree now. I only noticed after applying them that you hadn't marked them with 'cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx', so we should probably point Greg at them. They are commits 577ebb374c78 block: add and use scsi_blk_cmd_ioctl 0bfc96cb7722 block: fail SCSI passthrough ioctls on partition devices ec8013beddd7 dm: do not forward ioctls from logical volumes to the underlying device in my tree now.
