| 15 | NOTE: please make sure that partitions are unmounted and that there are |
| 16 | no other active references to devices before doing "delete_devices" step, |
| 17 | also do not attempt "scan" step on devices currently in use -- otherwise |
| 18 | results may be unpredictable and lead to data loss if you're unlucky |
