One of my hard disk is showing symptoms of impending failure. Before sending it for replacement, I would like to blank out the entire disk (80GB in my case).
Is the following sufficient? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1K count=78148161 (sdb1 is the entire disk - MBR) TIA, -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
