https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1439132 During 'matrix' testing of all possible combinations I found that if device is formated with "gpt" first, then an attempt is made to format using "mac", a startup will fail. Deeper analysis by Peter Krempa indicates that the "mac" table fits into the first block on the disk. Since the GPT disklabel is stored at LBA address 1 it is not overwritten at all. Thus it's apparent that the (blkid) detection tool then prefers GPT over a older disklabel. The GPT disklabel has also a secondary copy at the last LBA of the disk. So, follow the same logic as the logical pool in clearing a 1MB swath at the beginning and end of the device to avoid potential issues with larger sector sizes for the device. Also fixed a minor formatting nit in virStorageBackendDeviceIsEmpty call.
