[cc'ing Hannes... Hmmm... Which email address do I use to cc Neil Brown?]
Hmmm... It seems that most other distros aren't defaulting to unlocking HPA.
Apparently, no one has paid much attention to it. I think it would be very
nice if we can keep consistent behaviors with other distros.
Also, I realized that HPA-locked -> unlocked transition can be dangerous for
on-disk formats which put their metadata at the end of device and use device
size to access it. Do some of md/dm fall in this category?
PS. I won't be able to get online for a few days from now on. I'll get back to
this issue as soon as I get back. Thanks.
