Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue 1: udevd → B<systemd-udevd>(8)
Issue 2: B<"yes"> → B<yes>

"Use exclusive BSD lock for device or file it operates. The optional argument "
"I<mode> can be B<yes>, B<no> (or 1 and 0) or B<nonblock>. If the I<mode> "
"argument is omitted, it defaults to B<\"yes\">. This option overwrites "
"environment variable B<$LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE>. The default is not to use any "
"lock at all, but it\\(cqs recommended to avoid collisions with udevd or "
"other tools."

Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue: Are partitions to be marked as "volume" or "volume header"?

"An IRIX/SGI disklabel can describe 16 partitions, the eleventh of which "
"should be an entire `volume\\(aq partition, while the ninth should be "
"labeled `volume header\\(aq. The volume header will also cover the partition "
"table, i.e., it starts at block zero and extends by default over five "
"cylinders. The remaining space in the volume header may be used by header "
"directory entries. No partitions may overlap with the volume header. Also do "
"not change its type or make some filesystem on it, since you will lose the "
"partition table. Use this type of label only when working with Linux on IRIX/"
"SGI machines or IRIX/SGI disks under Linux."
