Thanks for the patch. Before applying it, we'd like to know what do you
expect to happen if -U is used simultaneously with the device table
(-D). Should we use what device table says for directories which are
created because they are specified in the device table, or we should use
0 anyway? Or we should just prohibit simultaneous usage of -U and -D ?
