We here at IT-assistans have found the ability to clear ZFS labels very =
useful for testing. We have an internal utility written in-house to =
clear ZFS labels. It's rather dumb and dangerous which is why I have =
chosen not to publish it. (Oh, the irony of being held accountable for a =
utility designed to cause data loss causing data loss.) Having a =
labelclear command with some extra molly guards on it in the normal =
userspace ZFS commands would be useful to us at least for testing.=
