Hi all
What is the best practice to remove all data in the disk?
ls fdisk ok or use dd
Can data be recovered?
and what is the dd command?
Thank you
Default with boot and nuke is three (or is it four?) passes, but you can tell it full US DoD seven passes, which meets all US gov't requirements for data destruction, and no, you can't get it back.
Alternatively, the answer on another techie mailing list I'm on is that you could disassemble the disks and use thermite.
