Multipath newbie
 
I was trying to configure a multipath storage to a debian server. I was using mkfs and parted. I got lost along the way and ended up with this
Code:

root@BDOULXU472:/dev/mapper# parted -l
Model: HP LOGICAL VOLUME (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 147GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start  End    Size    Type      File system    Flags
 1      262kB  20.0GB  20.0GB  primary  ext4            boot
 2      20.0GB  147GB  127GB    extended
 5      20.0GB  40.0GB  20.0GB  logical  ext4
 6      40.0GB  50.0GB  10000MB  logical  ext4
 7      50.0GB  60.0GB  10000MB  logical  linux-swap(v1)
 8      60.0GB  147GB  86.8GB  logical  ext4

My question is, how do I delete the partition table on /dev/mapper/mpathb?

It says

Model: Linux device-mapper (multipath) (dm)
Disk /dev/mapper/mpathb: 1979GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Thanks

I think you do not need to delete that just create a new one (which will overwrite everything)
