[I looked at this because people complained that fdisk
spews a lot of nonsense when applied to /dev/hdc when
that device happens to be a CD reader with audio CD.
And indeed, a lot of nonsense is printed, not by fdisk
but by the kernel. Probably the kernel should not print
anything in such situations where no hardware error is
involved. The read should just return -1 and set EIO or so.]
