# wipefs
> Wipe filesystem, raid, or partition-table signatures from a device.
- Display signatures for specified device:
`sudo wipefs {{/dev/sda}}`
- Wipe all available signatures for specified device:
`sudo wipefs --all {{/dev/sda}}`
- Perform dry run:
`sudo wipefs --all --no-act {{/dev/sda}}`
- Force wipe, even if the filesystem is mounted:
`sudo wipefs --all --force {{/dev/sda}}`
