I tried with 3.3 and every step between 3.3 and 3.7. I'm not able to
reproduce the problem, and I did run with Hack=True in the script
(thanks for the flag btw, I really like that).
So, that leaves us with a few possibilities:
1) mount -o seclabel
2) The small size of the device
3) loopback
I ran with a 1GB FS here on 3.3 and wasn't able to trigger things. But
Pascal, could you please help narrow the problem down?
