Provide a way to wipe drives
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If I break my linux install I want to be able to restore it to its default state instead of having to get a new drive. Describe the solution you'd like I think when a hard drive with linux already on it is placed in a grid with a scrench it should revert it back to a normal hard drive with no data.
@atirut-w placing a drive without linux on it would make it a linux drive, but if it already had linux on it it would be wiped.
Determining if a disk have Linux might be tricky
there is litterally a seperate item for disks with linux
Yes but once you use them they becomes different. Maybe there are new files, dotfiles, etc. IIRC, these disks have a sort of template filesystem that becomes normal disk with a copy of those templates, sort of like burning an ISO file onto a disk.
@atirut-w yeah ik. Using a scrench would destroy everything on it. It already does it just only works one way.
Keep fresh Sedna Linux drive as a backup, and if you mess up your working drive, boot from backup drive and do dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/vdb

That works but I shouldn't have to keep a backup drive all the time it should be built into the mod.
I wish I could install Linux on an empty hard drive with a wrench IRL...
