The scans in udev are primarily directed by blkid call which detects the
signatures and based on this information various other udev rules fire.
The blkid as well as wipefs uses common libblkid library to detect these
signatures - is mdadm going to use libblkid to wipe the signatures on MD
device initialization or is it relying on external tools to do this? How
is mdadm actually initializing/wiping the newly created MD device?
