Hmm, FAI doesn't try to be smart in any way - it shouldn't "find" anything, it
will only use whatever was configured.

When fai-setup-storage detects any old MDADM Softraid Partitions, it tries to assemble/start them even when Sofraid is not configured. That is the reason why we wrote partition.DEFAULT which cleans the harddisks:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512

I would also prefer if fai-setup-storage would not be "too smart" ;-)
