Howdy, As most likely know, I use LVM a lot. I'm about to rework a set of drives and when done, I need to remove everything from the drives and reset them to like new. No data, no LVM, no partitions or anything on them. I'm not necessarily needing to use shred or dd everything to make sure data can never be recovered, just reset to like new so I can start clean with a fresh new setup. I think I tried dd in the past but it lead to issues because it appears something was still trying to see LVM on the drive.
What is the fastest way to do this when on a single drive or when on more than one drive, if it requires a different process? I figure someone here has done this before and found a quick and easy way to accomplish the goal. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
