I'm already using dd to write zeros to the disks ("I've used dd to wipe all
four drives of data left behind by the previous hardware controller"
above), which has been sufficient in the past.  I guess I've never run into
a case where FAI assigned the same UUID to two different disks before ...
but wipefs seems to have worked around that.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Unfortunately, I'm now getting an entirely new error from LVM, for which
I'm running out of troubleshooting steps.  I'll start a new thread for that
if I can't solve it.

Thanks for the help!
