Incorrect, sorry. Do you really make Linux incompatible to the rest of the world?

Your last line is wrong

The Linux Kernel fols unfortunately artificially hides information for the /dev/hd* interface making exactly this compatibility impossible.

If you are against personal attacks, why didn't you intercede for the postings from Jens Axboe and Albert Cahalan?
I am against personal attacks and this is the first time where it tooks more than a day before LKML people started with personal attacks against me. So in principle this is some sort of progress compared to former times. If you like to continue this discussion, I would like you to stay reasonable and help to keep the discussion stay based on technical based arguments.
