Define "some artifact"? It looks like it's basically blkid traversing
the table and overwriting any matches it finds with zeroes?
And yeah, I always used dd for that. Didn't know there was a command.
and I don't see how making it not there but recoverable is useful? (You
can backup the contents of a block device with "cat" if you really need
to...)
