--- Comment #12 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2007-09-03 00:23:06 --- BTW if you really think that this is the way Wine should do it, make and send the patch to wine-patches. There you will have an opportunity for more people to chime in on it. However this proposition was discussed before and was rejected. Thus the resolution of this bug.
Also just something for you to think about, how will you handle raid arrays? LVMs? And don't forget the more important question, how will windows programs handle that?
Also don't forget about that on windows you can have things like reparse points, or partitions without drive letters assigned to them.
And that there are lots of ... outright broken software that wants to scan all fixed drives (just in case) when you start them/install them.
