|
|
|
`sudo wipefs {{/dev/sdX}}`

|
- Wipe all available signature types for a specific device with no recursion into partitions:

|
|
|
|
2020-10-29 11:21:45 +00:00
|
|

`sudo wipefs --all {{/dev/sdX}}`

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Wipe all available signature types for the device and partitions using a glob pattern:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`sudo wipefs --all {{/dev/sdX}}*`
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-29 11:21:45 +00:00
|
|
|
`sudo wipefs --all --no-act {{/dev/sdX}}`
|
2020-06-18 12:58:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Force wipe, even if the filesystem is mounted:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-29 11:21:45 +00:00
|
|
|
`sudo wipefs --all --force {{/dev/sdX}}`
