Hmm, for me, the force option always means that we do things that we don't do by default and just give warning of. For your change, without '--force', if an user tries to use a mounted device, the tool gives warning of it and ignores the device. With '--force', the tool uses any device even if it's mounted. For me, it's pretty consistent.
