Ideally I thought gprart would handle such case behind the scenes when acting on the destroy option.
But so that not to be dependent on upstream timelines would it be good idea to include the following step in the installer script which does ZFS formatting?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$DRIVE bs=$NBYTES

The TrueOS ISO cleaning options have already been updated to include a broader range of the disk that it zeroes out to prepare the disk for installation. This workaround should be not needed anymore.
