6 | Yes, it's fairly trivial, for someone who cares enough to try, to |
7 | retrieve data from a disk that's merely been formatted. Although I've |
8 | never tried to do so myself I regularly `shred /dev/hda` on |
9 | customers' scrap PCs (see `info shred`) and a data recovery |
10 | specialist last year offered to return 17gigs worth of data from a |
11 | hard drive that had died containing only 8 gigs of files. |
