Re: Free data-wipe tools for *nix systems

2004-12-16 Thread Carsten Otte
Personally I have been using mkswap for that. It probably does not really wipe all out, but it was enough to lose the data. And today I talked to someone who did a pvcreate against dasda rather than dasdaa which also was effective :-) Both don't really wipe out the data - just the superblock.

You missed the point about the pages being fixed. If you have a number of guests doing that, it limits CP's ability to page stuff out. Things can go downhill rapidly at some point. Also, I've seen guests that were just barely undersized taking up 100% of a processor when another NIC was added

Re: SuSE SLES8 and z/VM 5.1 problem

2004-12-16 Thread Mark Post
Since the installation doc calls for 512MB on the high end, that means increasing that to 768 likely won't help. What you can do is IPL the installation kernel, mount your file systems, and see if /etc/zipl.conf is there, along with the contents of /boot. If it is, you should be able to chroot
