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.
