Maybe we should try to use parted's clobber stuff... I don't have any insight on the way it should be implemented properly. Here is our current workaround: %pre for i in `(fdisk -l /dev/hda ; fdisk -l /dev/sda) | grep -v Ext | egrep '^/dev/.da[0-9]*' | sed 's/ .*//' | sort -r`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$i count=1 bs=1M; done This sounds similar to bug #145732 ... clobber doesn't look all that helpful. I'll look into implementing our own stuff in anaconda for wiping out labels and other identifying filesystem information. We have clobbering now |
