allows the user to force the creation of a GPT even when there's a
MBR on the device. The MBR is simply wiped and any partitions
described by it are lost. Without the -f option one cannot create
a GPT when there's a MBR.
and 'mediasz' is in bytes. As it so happens, we define 'last' as the
sector number of the last sector on the medium which also is the size
of the PMBR partition. Therefore, use 'last' instead of 'mediasz'.

the early days when GPT support was under development, it's something
that users can use without knowing what they're getting themselves
into. The possible harm outweights the marginal usefulness it now has.

I am working on merging a shared locking mechanism into ipfw which
should take care of this problem, but it still requires a bit more
testing and review.
1) ginode() is passed a cylinder group number and inode number. The inode
number is relative to the cg. Use this relative number rather than the
absolute inode number when searching the cg inode bitmap to see if the inode
is allocated. Using the absolute number quickly runs the check off the end
of the array and causes invalid inodes to be referenced.
2) ginode() checks the absolute indoe number to make sure that it is greater
than ROOTINO. However, the caller loops through all of the possible inode
numbers and directly passes in values that are < ROOTINO. Instead of halting
the program with an error, just return NULL.
3) When allocating new cylinder groups, growfs was initializing all of the
inodes in the group regardless of this only being required for UFS1. Not
doing this for UFS2 provides a significant performance increase.
These fixes allow growing a filesystem beyond a trivial amount and have
been tested to grow an 8GB filesystem to 1.9TB. Much more testing would
be appreciated.

Pass 4 performed a linear search of this list for each inode in
the file system, which performs poorly if the list is long.
