>Description:
	
Now that the DIOCKLABEL ioctl is there, I think it is a good idea to expand
mbrlabel to make the label it imposes on the disk sticky. This avoids some
trickery for (most?) uses of mbrlabel...

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	
Changing mbrlabel.c:setlabel() to:

void
setlabel(sd)   
        int sd;
{
      int keep = 1;
        
      if (ioctl(sd, DIOCKLABEL, &keep) < 0) {             
              perror("keep label");                         
              exit(1);
      }
           .....
}
