usb/disk should return "bad process or channel control request" rather than "permission denied". with contrib quanstro/sd, one can use sdloop(3). there are two things i like about sdloop it saves one round-trip to user space over partfs. since it's just a driver, i'm pretty sure one could just drop in in a standard kernel. - erik
