Hi,
I'm going to give away some old hard disks and I'm planning to

Thanks.



Can't you just have the hole partition encrypted, I've never actually 
encountered information about how to do it on OBDS, but the NetBSD guide 
explains how to do it in details. That way nobody will be able to 
unencrypt it unless he has the password, right?

But then again, they might try some nasty tricks on you to get the 
password..., but hopefully not ;)
