You say that previously users were not able to see what the actual flags stored on disk were, but the code this patch removes from dasd_read appears to do exactly that: translate the DASD information into lvm and raid flags. You appear to have just added a warning that changing these flags might render an existing file system unusable. How would it do that and why should we warn about this?
