[SunHELP] Wiping Sparc harddrives

[Sreenivasa Rao Vadalasetty]

Don't you think deleting the partitions is the faster way to make the data
on the disk inaccessible?

	check out fmthard - there's an option to use a file - 
	/dev/null works I believe.

	Is there a quick way to wipe the information off a HD in a sparc?  I
was 
	asked recenetly by a friend who works at a scrapper if there was a
quick 
	way, it looks like they are going to get a bunch of sparcs but the
HD's 
	need to be wiped before they remove them from the warehouse where
they are 
	currently stored.
