* wipefs: don't erase nested partition tables by defaultKarel Zak2014-04-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible the partition contains a partition table (BSD, or hybrid boot images). It could be unexpected for users that the lost all (or another) partitions when work with non-whole disk device. Let's require --force. For example: # wipefs --all /dev/sdb erases all including partition table, but on hybrid disk where the first partition starts at first sector (so partition table is within the first partition): # wipefs --all /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: ignore nested "dos" partition table on non-whole disk device wipefs: Use the --force option to force erase. asks for --force.

* wipefs: call BLKRRPART when erase partition tableKarel Zak2014-01-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | It's better to be smart than make things inconsistent (without BLKRRPART kernel still uses the erased PT and udev-db still contains obsolete information). Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* standard SEE ALSO section of man pagesMike Frysinger2013-05-131-2/+1Star
| | | | | | | | The standard format is to seperate each entry with a comma, and for each one to be on a line by itself. Most util-linux pages follow this, but a few do not. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

* wipefs: Add --force option to force it to erase.Richard W.M. Jones2012-11-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c550f728f724360f99aae0fdb45b0589d9a347e0 added O_EXCL when opening the thing to erase. This broke the wipefs utility when used on anything which isn't an unmounted filesystem. eg. If you use it on a block device containing partitions, then it won't work because the kernel recognizes the partitions and so thinks the device is in use. This change adds the --force option which, when used, undoes the above flag change. However you still have to use --force most of the time when erasing something that isn't a plain unmounted filesystem. Signed-off-by: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com>
