IOW just how "bare" a disk is needed? Is > writing a null gpt sufficient? Hm. I may have missed something, but I've got the impression we are a second round through this: you just slap the LVM infrastructure over current data, it will overwrite what it needs to and mark the rest as free space. It just replaces what was before on disk. It /might/ warn you that you're about overwriting potentially valuable data, I don't remember. Unless, of course, the data is sensitive: in that case you want to zero (or better: random) it. Cheers -- t
