That's a misunderstanding, or my fingers typed without consulting the
brain. Sorry.
What I mean is: storage devices should auto-initialize when first
used (like for example Ethernet does, too), but an explicit "init"
sub-command should be also available, so the user can re-initialize
the system if he likes.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
