| Quote | So the best solution is probably to clean the current existing swap-partitions with the following two commands:
> dd /dev/zero /dev/hda4
> mkswap /dev/hda4
("hda4" only as example, to be named according to the real used swap-partition) |
I suppose that works, but I seem to remember a program in windows that would clean files off a (standard) hard drive permanently - but it suggested that 7 overwrites should be safe enough. Don't know how paranoid that really is, but that would be running the dd command 7 more times!
