Can you run parted on such a drive and issue the mklabel command?

Bug#714358: Can not easily remove old RAID/LVM during new reinstall

2013-06-28 Thread opensou...@tigusoft.pl

Package: installation-reports
Version: debian 7 i386 installer build 20130430 
Boot method: USB stick

I wanted to delete old partitions and create RAID partition on hard 
drive. 
During installation:
- I clicked on the disk driver (sda) - to delete partition 
- installer asked: do you want to start with new partition table?
- I chose yes
- installer asked to confirm it will destroy a RAID. 
- confirmed, yes
But nothing was deleted.

Work-around: delete the raid first.  Configure RAID - delete RAID - 
delete md0.  Then delete partition tables (start over).

How it should work: it should deleted the RAID that used this driver.

OR: also: some function to totally start over (delete all partition 
tables, all RAIDs, all LVMs, all DM/crypto). But how it should work for 
several hard drives?

OR: function to manually partition WITHOUT auto-using existing things. 
It will skip auto-detecting RAID, LVM, DM/crypto. It would also solve 
most of the bugs regarding problems when overwriting on old partially 
broken or incompatible disk systems.
