how to completely wipe out data from HD?
I set up a RAID-0 server on a window machine using 4 harddisks. 100G each. Therefore the total size is 400G. Now, i removed all the data and
put the same set of disks on another linux Redhat machine using the same controler type. For some reason, I don't see each individual drive. All i see is a sdb having 400G.
To fix it, i connect individual drive to a external USB enclosure and create partition/format each one of them with ext3 (fdisk /dev/sdb, mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1). When put it back on the controler, I still see the same 400G.
I think there might be some information about the previous RAID setup on the Harddrives. Is there a way to completely remove everything on the harddrives so that I can see each individual drive on the linux machine? Appreciate any help.!!!
