+       help
+         For historical reasons, by default, either a master is present or
+         several partitions are present, but not both. The concern was that
+         data listed in multiple partitions was dangerous; however, SCSI does
+         this and it is frequently useful for applications. This config option
+         leaves the master in even if the device is partitioned. It also makes
+         the parent of the partition device be the master device, rather than
+         what lies behind the master.
