Re: Removing a Raid Partition? How-to?

I was playing around with a test system and tried your method with one 
drive rather than just zeroing the superblock as Neil Brown suggested. It 
might just be something flaky with my scsi drive, but I couldn't fdisk the 
thing afterwards, kept getting scsi parity errors when I tried to write a 
new partition table.

I tried doing low level formats with the Adaptec controller, no luck.  I 
tried scsitools, etc., and eventually had to get Seagate's seatools to do a 
low-level format in order to be able to use fdisk again (I also tried 
cfdisk, etc.).

Not saying your method wouldn't work for most, but thought I should  note 
what happened to me.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi,

try a "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" if your disk is the first SCSI disk.
Replace sda with the right devive name. Don't enter a partition number -
just the device name. dd should overwrite the MBR and the partition table.

Good luck
