@topic: I would strongly suggest using a hardware key that also utilizes a
passphrase. To delete, remove the key and/or don't tell anyone the
passphrase. If you need to destroy a platter drive take it apart and sand
the platters (probably the easiest). If it's solid state heat the drive

I'm afraid I won't be testing it any time soon -- I don't have any drives
to pair at the moment. As for your comments about dmraid being 'fake', I'm
a little confused. From what you say it sounds like this is the hardware
RAID that comes with many motherboards. Why is hardware RAID undesirable

Just did an eix-sync followed by an emerge -NuD world and then the
