Hi,

This becomes important when removing a disklabel from a device
which has a disklabel and partitions but which is not something
we support partitioning (eg: lvm lv). In normal cases the
partitions will already have been removed, but in the case of
an unsupported partitioned device we ignore the partitions when
scanning and so have to remove them this way.

Thinking about this some more
self.partedDevice.clobber() is what you want:

self.partedDisk.deleteAllPartitions()
^ This removes the partitions from the in memory copy of the table
self.partedDevice.clobber()
^ This will destroy the actual table on the disk
self.commit()
^ This will write the now empty table (but never the less a valid
  table) to the disk, undoing the clobber(0.


So we should just call:
self.partedDevice.clobber()
And set partedDisk to None, to indicate the label is gone:
self.partedDisk = None

Hans
