What do I use to create/write a new GPT partition table? Despite nuking mdadm.conf, and zeroing the drive with dd, its still locked and untouchable by gparted. And I cannot rmmod the raid stuff, its busy. Blanking the third one now with dd a 34 minute job. I'll reboot again when the 4th drive has been zeroed.
