I have a FreeBSD 9.3 remote server that needs to be purged. I know that = rm -rf / will remove all the directory entries, but I need to write over = the drive. I thought that dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/ada0 might do the = trick, but it gives an not permitted error. The whole thing can crash = and burn at the end. This is an unmanned site so moving drives is not = viable.=
