Hi,

If I've a disk I want to partition automatically, I've been using something 
like:

sfdisk -uM << EOF
,2048,S
,,L
EOF

Which works fine.

However if the drive was used for something else and has partitions n such 
already on it then the script doesn't work properly.

So I was using dd if=/dev/zero of=$DEVICE count=1024 to mash anything that was 
there before.

This works too, however if I'm running a HostRAID card it breaks the RAID 
mirror!

I was wondering if there's a more eloquent way of using the whole disk 
regardless of what used to be on it without manual intervention?

cheers

Matthew
