[pbs-devel] [PATCH backup v2 2/2] disks: wipe: only zero out the first 1 MiB

[Filip Schauer]

Reduce the number of MiB zeroed out at the start of the disk from 200 to
1. This should still be sufficient to remove any remaining signatures
missed by `wipefs`, preventing potential interference with later use of
the disk.
