I have used 'wipe' to blank out data on disk partitions. Other solutions like using dd with /dev/*random works. Someone pointed out that professional forensic sleuths can recover files from so called "blanked" out disks. A professional data recovery service was able to recover all my files even after some one had done a 'dd' of an iso file on a disk. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
