For -U, that could work (was actually how we handled it in an earlier version). For -C, no. Our goal is to avoid cgd trying to configure a device, like those backed by USB drives, on boot when the backing device isn't attached. But perhaps rather than changing the semantics of -C, we could add an alternate flag to provide this addition check? Robert made some really good suggestions that I will incorporate and provide an updated patch. Thanks for the feedback!
