@stop If I could, I would. It's a part of an automated installation system that only allows me to include my own script snippets before an installation step - In this case, before the partitioning of the disk. So at the time, I don't yet know where the partitions are going to be created, and no sdaX exists.

@stop Yep, it runs before any partitioning is done on the drive

@Aldar what the heck are you using when even udev isn't running?
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...

WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP
It's so precious that when it detects an existing mdraid signature, it just *won't* let me create a physical volume over it!
No matter that I run pvcreate with double-force switch.
It doesn't matter that the system doesn't even have a single MD device defined (Which can be easily checked in /proc/mdstat OR by checking the /dev subsystem)
I *hate* commands that are trying to be more clever than the admin sitting behind the keyboard.
Sure, leave this as the default behavior (It could save a lot of people's data I bet), but BLOODY HELL GIVE ME A SWITCH TO OVERRIDE THE CHECK YOU DUMBASS.
I swear... I feel like I'll get a frickin' brain hemorrhage from this "clever tool" -_-"
