I'm running SUSE 9.2 Pro... can anyone recommend an app or technique for securely wiping the contents on an external usb hard drive with a single 120GB reiserfs partition?
Depending on what level of security you need, your only option may be to destroy the drive by throwing it into a running NMR scanner machine (not really, but exposing the drive to a strong rapidly changing magnetic field would probably make it sufficiently difficult to recover anything written to the drive). It may be a bit on the expensive side, though.
If you get that paranoid try this: Physical destruction of CD/DVD-Media: Nuke it in the microwave, this is the final solution Physical destruction of Harddrive: Put the drive into your bake oven at highest temperature for ~1/2 hour. This melts the plastic surface with embedded magnetic particles. Afterwards put it into a steel-shredder or the next blast furnace if your near a steel facility. This will make any recovery nearly impossible. <fun-tag on> But don't do this funny thing which happend at german police selling a used harddrive with sensitive data: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/result.xhtml?url=/newsticker/meldung/58353&words=Polizei%20Festplatte <fun-tag off> Reguards Philippe - -- Diese Nachricht ist digital signiert und enthält weder Siegel noch Unterschrift!
