Stefan B. <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Stefan B. <[email protected]> --- Hmm. So "gpart destroy -F geom" does _not_ actually wipe the partition block, at least if it is a MBR one. Now I think I understand that strange error that I encountered when attempting to create a clone on a (formerly) MBR partitioned USB stick while testing my new Skunk Cloner (https://github.com/SkunkOS/SkunkCloner). If gpart destroy does _not_ work under some configurations, the only work-around to ensure clean partition data then would be to zero-dd the partition table. Honestly, I would rather prefer to be able to use gpart destroy to clear out any old partition data! I don't like having no other choice than to hackingly use dd to clear partition data. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
