I have not implemented it. In fact, the c partition is not
accessable by virtue of gpart not creating a provider for it.
It's a purely internal partition. The raw partition can be
accessed through the parent of the BSD label and that will
take into account any and all permissions and re-tasting.

I'm not aware actually. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll take
a look at it and see how it impacts things...
