Bug description:
  [Impact]
  cannot erase the disk when no partition table is present

  [Test Case]
  cat /dev/zero >> /dev/sdX to erase the partition table (you can ctrl-c immediately, it's enough that the first bits are erased)

  [Regression Potential]
  Should not affect negatively the normal use case (=usb stick with partition table, one partition vfat formatted).
