Good theory, but there are lots of ways to fool it. Two
I have encountered just recently: Pull all but one disk
out of a server chassis to make sure the new install doesn't
clobber existing disk, then put them all back and try to
reboot. Install under Xen with a single physical disk
mapped in as the disk for the install, then try to reboot
the xen server later and discover duplicate labels.
