Removing mdadm 090 metadata from an old array.

[RimBlock]

Hi,

I have a set of disks which used to be a Raid5 array. I have since repartitioned and formatted them with mdadm for a raid0 array (metadata 1.2 IIRC).

The Fedora disk tool (under system tool menu) still lists the raid5 array (created previously with CentOS 5.5).

How do I get rid of all traces of the original raid5 array from the disks ?

Thanks
RB

Thanks,

Exactly what I need I think.

Will try tonight.

On a side note, any idea why my md0 seems to be md127 ? Is it just a change with how mdadm works in the newer version ?. If so I will do a bit of a read up on the new mdadm docs.
