Package: debian-installer Version: stretch RC1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i
Hi, I am trying to reinstall a Debian machine which had an older version of Debian on it, but now I want a slightly different partitioning scheme for Stretch. The Debian installer offers me to delete the RAID partitions, but then it continues to force me to have them and does not allow me to make any changes to it. I already nuked the front part of the disk with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1G count=1, and the same for sdb, but the RAID still persists (should then be mdadm 0.9, because that's at the end of the disk). It would be great if you could include code to reliably kill pre-existing RAID partitions. TIA!
