The patch implements the following logic: - always warn if disk have GPT - in interactive mode: explicitly warn that any change to MBR will result in GPT removal, ask for confirmation, and remove GPT - in non-interactive mode: remove GPT and explicitly note this fact
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to have a new command-line option to remove the GPT? In non-interactive mode without the new option, if the GPT exists the command should fail with a non-zero exit status (and an appropriate error message).
