Re: change the file system type
What do you mean by raw disk?
If you mean to wipe it and remove everything, then you could use this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
This will fill the whole disk with zeros. Just be sure to select the right disk.

If you do this then all data on it will be lost.
You need to umount the filesystem in question and then run mkfs -t ext4 against the block device it sat on.
Or you can google and find the magic tune2fs command to convert ext3 to ext4.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
