script for detecting hd partition type and wiping out/re-creating

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=228

Can just erase the partition using disk utility. No need to make things difficult.

we've had mixed results. when we just do erase partition we get weird gremlins in the systems. random crashes, things not starting up. I see it time and time again, the tech forgets to do the partition wipe and reload (especially when going to a newer os than was previously on the machine), they bring ti to me because XYZ is happening, and I ask if they wiped the partitions and they said no. they go back and wipe it, and everything works.

granted if they don't bring it to me first, I don't know to look for the issues, so it may be working more than I realize...

@jwojda, yea we had fun with CS & partitioning. I've written it up: https://macmule.com/2015/01/02/casper-imaging-corestorage-volumes/

If using Fusion drives you'll need to look at the part that creates 2 Logical Volume Groups with a volume under each.. But, in doing so.. I'll don't think you'll be getting the benefits of Fusion drives.
