Is there any way to delete existing ext4 file system and make the
volume un-mountable. I would assume that there should be some way to
discard filesystem metadata on the volume but I cannot find out how.
Thanks for your feedback

wipefs
But careful, it does what it says and you´d need a hex editor to undo.
Ciao,
