What do I use to create/write a new GPT partition table?
Despite nuking mdadm.conf, and zeroing the drive with dd, its still
locked and untouchable by gparted. And I cannot rmmod the raid stuff,
its busy. Blanking the third one now with dd a 34 minute job. I'll
reboot again when the 4th drive has been zeroed.
