💖 cdist-type__install_reset_disk — reset a disk 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the cdist manual, section 7 — CDIST-TYPE__INSTALL_RESET_DISK(7) — and it's literally the "nuke it from orbit" girlie of the type collection. she resets a disk. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so you point her at a disk and she goes full clean-slate mode:

  • Remove partition table. gone. bye. 💀
  • Remove all lvm labels. every single one.
  • Remove mdadm superblock. yes, even that.
bestie this is a destructive reset. it does not ask, it does not warn, it does not check in. it's giving scorched earth and honestly that's the assignment. 🎀

🌸 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🌸

None ✨

nothing. zero. she needs nothing required from you. iconic behaviour, no cap.

🦋 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🦋

None ✨

also nothing. not one optional parameter. she's low maintenance, high impact. 💅

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

the whole example, verbatim, and yes it's exactly one line long:

__install_reset_disk /dev/sdb

that's it bestie. that's the entire demo. /dev/sdb gets the reset treatment. 🔥
