But wiped too? That's just overkill. The only report I've heard recently
of anything approaching needing a "wipe" was when the Windows NTFS
formatter left a reiserfs superblock intact on disk. Even then, zeroing
out a single block fixed the problem. Otherwise, as far as the installer
and kernel are concerned, the file system is gone if it's been formatted
over.
