I was thinking/hoping, that a fresh install is based on some kind of
'mkfs' (or whatever the tool is named in Ubuntu) and/or binary dd-copy
of smaller images into the target files system. Ofc, mkfs will not wipe
out blocks, but does not make old blocks accessible again for normal
file commands.

Thanks for any light in this
