Incidentally, this issue was the subject of a long thread on this very
list less than a month ago, look e.g. at the first post here
<http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux/maillists/03/02/msg00354.html>
or at my reply here
<http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux/maillists/03/02/msg00380.html>

The short answer:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxxx count=1
with the FS unmounted.
