If I care enough to wipe the disks in a server, "usually" and "late" is not going to cut it. Any attempt by the kernel to read any filesystem is likely to cause a panic before wiping is complete. If you want to completely wipe a disk, you need the root filesystem to be somewhere else. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
