I wonder how this mdadm data was still there, though...

Thanks for your help,


Ok, good to know, thanks for testing this. I wonder whether we should do
something about this in setup-storage, but I believe that doing mdadm
--zero-superblock on each and every non-RAID device is pure overkill.

I agree. You may want to add a few words in the error message, something like "Failed to obtain UUID [...], check that $device_name is not or has not been a RAID partition".
