mksd asks if sd had previous ext3 fs
100%
Description
On F20, the mksd script is prompting to "Proceed anyway" if an ext3 fs is found where the rootfs was previously installed. This must be a change to the way parted works.

To make the partitions (now with 3: boot, rootfs, data):
parted <dev> mkpart p fat32 1 64
parted <dev> mkpart p ext2 65 1000
parted <dev> mkpart p ext2 1001 -1
To remove any previous partitions:
parted <dev> -- rm 1
parted <dev> -- rm 2
parted <dev> -- rm 3
Removal should come first, then the partitions can be created without prompts.
Formatting is the same as before:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 ${DEV}1 -n boot
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs ${DEV}2
If the device is an mmc:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 ${DEV}p1 -n boot
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs ${DEV}p2

These updates are in my tree and ready for testing. The script needs to be copied to the pkg directory before testing.

There were some additional problems. The main fix is to use double -F options to mkfs when creating the file systems. I also cleaned up the use of parted as well as added removing partitions before starting. Finally, I added a data partition for later use, mainly for use in future upgrade paths.
Changes tested, committed and pushed.
Closing issue.
