Probably more than an fdisk and creating a file system is overkill. Besides there's gnu shred that would do the job from his running CentOS system ... hit the secondary drive with random bits or just a pass of zeros. # one pass random bits, one pass zero shred -vfz -n1 /dev/<something> # zeros only shred -vfz -n0 /dev/<something> > > Then make it available via PXE, though with a DANGER warning in your PXE > menu :-). Hehehe. ;) I have dban on a pxe boot server. Initially having it there was a bit disconcerting ... more so that a coworker would stumble upon it. I hid the option in a separate menu and did put a warning in the splash message. Off-Topic: A coworker of mine modified the dban iso so that it would boot and auto-nuke (no keyboard) ... He left that disc in a server he gave to another coworker ... who we suspect put the disc in a work computer and wiped the drive! :P > > > -- > Paul Heinlein > heinlein at madboa.com > 45°38' N, 122°6' W > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //
