Wiping (whole) device (with some crypt random way) is still on TODO list. But I believe that common signatures are wiped during LUKS format already (we had several bugs related to this already) so it should never happen that device contains ext4/swap/whatever signature parallel with LUKS. (If so, please let me know, it is a bug.) fsck can possibly use blkid and warn user "Warning: device seems to contain xyz signature, do you really want...." but this is feature for fsck (util-linux), not for cryptsetup. (Anyway, I can ask util-linux maintainer later next year:) Milan _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
