@Alex 
Since you apparently TL:DR'd my previous emails - a short summary. I`m a tester not a dev, i dont have to and i dont really know much about hdd geometry and possible influence of changing it. I incorrectly assumed that any change done will be considered with other peoples in mind, not only the commiter's biddings. I failed. The problem is that now, with every crossing of the drive geometry changing rev i need to recreate all the partitions used and copy back the needed data. In case of real hardware, it may take up to one hour, which is almost a third of my whole free time in my standard working day, a majority of which is taken by ROS.
