Hi all,
Currently wipefs doesn't clear all the superblock of btrfs. Only the first
one is cleared.
Btrfs has three superblocks. The first one is placed at 64KB, the second
one at 64MB, the third one at 256GB.
If the first superblock is valid except that the "magic field" is zeroed,
btrfs skips the check of the other superblocks.
If the first superblock is fully invalid, btrfs checks for the other
superblock.
So zeroing the first superblock "magic field" at the beginning seems
that the filesystem is wiped. But when the first superblock is overwritten
(e.g. by another filesystem), then the other two superblocks may be considered
valid, and the filesystem may resurrect.

Subject: [PATCH] Add support for wiping the other btrfs superblock.
Btrfs has three superblock. The first one is placed at 64KB, the
second one at 64MB, the third one at 256GB.
If the first superblock is valid except that the "magic field" is zeroed,
btrfs skips the check of the other superblocks.
If the first superblock is fully invalid, btrfs checks for the other
superblock.
So zeroing the first superblock "magic field" at the beginning seems
that the filesystem is wiped. But when the first superblock is overwritten
(e.g. by another filesystem), then the other two superblock may be considered
valid, and the filesystem may resurrect.
This patch allow to find and wipe the other btrfs superblocks signature.
