Yes. If it's not clear (it probably is not, which is my fault) what
I'm asking is for that to be documented, so I can rely on it being the
case and add it to my own documentation. i don't like relying on
obscure undocumented hacks: that's why I use Solaris, I guess.

-f is already used for other purposes in format. But why not use the "-e"
option ("expert") instead of this obscure environment variable (which is
hard to type - in the beginnging I put the underscore at the wrong place
most of the time)

Now I use this environment variable most of the time: the in-use check is
so incredibly slow for large disk configurations. It is quite annoying if
you just want to call format to *view* the partitions.

I wonder in how many root .profiles is this environment variable already
set by default?
