It refuses to mount if it would be erasing some blocks to start with and
it's found no valid nodes. Thinks.... if the device is completely 
pre-erased then it'd be erasing every block 'to make sure', so it'd fail to 
mount. 

We could special-case this - if the device _was_ entirely empty beforehand 
- if it contained only 0xFF, then we can go ahead with the mount. Only if 
it actually had some data on should we fail.

Protests are only accepted in 'diff -u' form. :)
