The big problem on Linux seems to be that there is no such service
on the base OS.
Solaris includes the volmgt since 1992 and they recently created
a documentation for a library interface that allows to selectively
disable the volmgt service for a specific drive.
If I have the time, I will add support for it in the near future.
If Linux likes to stay maintainable it should create a base OS service
with a known interface rather than allowing several GUI implementations
to come out with different incompatible solutions.
