💖 incus-admin-os-system-storage-wipe-drive(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Incus command line client manual — yes, that Incus, the one you already love — and today we're talking about one very specific little command that does one very specific little thing. no notes, no drama, just vibes and a wiped drive. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

incus-admin-os-system-storage-wipe-drive — wipe the drive 💅

like. that's it. that's the job. the name literally tells you everything and honestly? iconic behavior.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

incus admin os system storage wipe-drive [:] [flags]

okay so it's a whole lil journey to type out — incus, then admin, then os, then system, then storage, then wipe-drive — and then there's this lil [:] situation hanging out there like a comma splice at a party, plus whatever [flags] you feel like sprinkling on top. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Description: Wipe the drive.

that's the whole description. it is giving "minimalist queen." the manpage said what it said and then it said nothing else and honestly we should all respect that energy. 💀

ngl though — the name says "wipe," so please, for the love of everything, know which drive you're pointing at before you hit enter. 🙈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -d, --data="" — the command data. it defaults to "" (empty), so there's nothing in there unless you put something in there. 🍓
  • --force[=false] — skips the confirmation prompt. it defaults to false, which means by default you WILL get asked to confirm — and lowkey? keep it that way unless you're absolutely sure, because the alternative is a drive that no longer has anything on it. 😭
  • --target="" — cluster member name. defaults to "". if you're living that cluster life, this is how you say which member you mean. 🧚

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't unique to wipe-drive — they come down from the parent commands like a family recipe, and they work here too. 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. defaults to false, so you only get the firehose if you ask for it. 🔥
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. defaults to false. honestly this one is such a good little safety net — see what it WOULD do instead of letting it do the thing. 🌈
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. defaults to false. 🔌
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. defaults to false. your girl -h always shows up when you need her. 💖
  • --project="" — override the source project. defaults to "". 📁
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. defaults to false, so normally you DO get progress info. ✨
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. defaults to false. 🌸
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. defaults to false. 💜
  • --version[=false] — print version number. defaults to false. ⭐

so yeah, nobody hand-wrote this one, our good friend cobra did it, and cobra does not do small talk. 💅

reminder bestie: this command wipes the drive, and --force makes it skip the confirmation prompt. that is a genuinely dangerous combination if you're not paying attention. know your target. use --explain if you want a vibe check first. 🫶
