Make recommendation to use wipefs to free disks more cautious

Closed this issue · 2 comments

It is certainly the case that stratisd might refuse to use a disk because it is a multipath member device. In that case, wiping the device might cause a lot of trouble. So, we can explain that wipefs -a will remove the signature, but also suggest careful consideration about whether that is the right thing to do.

Obviously this also has to apply to the instructions in the man page added by #211
