Wipe Disk
807559Mar 12 2002 — edited Mar 22 2002Solaris 7. I've searched high and low and burned most of the morning trying to figure out how to completely wipe hard disks clean before turning the box over to a charity. I've heard you can pipe /dev/hull to dd to write 0's to the raw disk device, but I can't make it work. Solaris won't do format on the seagate disks. Not sure newfs is complete enough that data couldn't be recovered. Any ideas?
