+Subject: [PATCH] Avoid mounting pre-existing disks
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+Organization: Invisible Things Lab
+Cc: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com>
+
+This operation may be harmfull in many ways:
+ - may unintentionally modify a disk not selected as installation target
+   (mounting even read only replays journal for example)
+ - if previous system was compromised, it may try to exploit some of the
+   parsing code (filesystem driver etc) to survive across
+   re-installation
