Sergio Schvezov (sergiusens) wrote : Extending system image cli for factory reset

Hey Barry, there's a design entry for providing factory reset[1]. One of
the ideas that circles around is to add a new method, let's call it Format,
to an existing or new interface in system image to basically do:

echo "format data" > /cache/recovery/ubuntu_command

I guess it's the right fit since this way we can easily lock an upgrade
from a factory reset taking place at the same time.

What do you think? I can take stance later if it seems appropriate or
people time becomes a blocking factor.

Cheers
Sergio.
