Cheers Chris I have used diskscrub and its one of the better tools. It would make sense as I noted in a previous email to have ironic run some dd tool before bringing the compute blade back into pool for scheduling. Should we write up a blueprint for this? Would also good to know if anyone has tried to do any data recovery after doing dd on the local disk? /Alan From: Chris Jones [mailto:cmsj at tenshu.net] Sent: January-16-14 6:33 AM To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [ironic] Disk Eraser Hi https://code.google.com/p/diskscrub/ If you need more than /dev/zero, scrub should be packaged in most distros and offers a choice of high grade algorithms.

I have so far looked at DBAN and disk scrubber and was wondering if ironic team have some better recommendations?
