It's possible, but where is the value in that? Why do you want to limit 
the option of the _all_ users??? Why do you want to _force_ onto _all_ 
users such inconsistencies??? For me it simply makes no sense that I can 
only partition some of devices. All of them will appear as /dev/nfhd*, but 
it's just silly that I don't have the same flexibility as with any other 
device.
Again, this stupid partition block adds absolutely zero value under Linux!!!
You still haven't shown any value this might add, instead you're only 
suggesting silly workarounds when users _will_ hit problems with hit.
