Hi All,
Fedora 26
BIOS boot = legacy (EUFI give me hives)
I have a SATA backup drive formatted gpt, one partition, xfs. I went
into gparted, erased the partition, recreated the partition as ext4 and
formatted it as ext4.
Then I mounted it as ext4, copied some files to it, unmounted it. When I
went to remount it, mount told me there was something wrong with ext4.
So I mounted it as xfs AND IT WORKED! I repeated with the same result.
The drive thinks it is ext4 until the second mount.
Out of shear frustration, I did a dd /dev/zero overwrite of the stinker
and left it running overnight. That did the trick, but it takes
forever and I have four more drives to go.
What is the official way to remove an xfs partition?
Many thanks,

I don't know if you guys care about such things, but I just
request that gparted do a disk blank

By the way, thank you all for the help and support
through all this!
