Re: erase data from root disk
If you wish to be more thorough than that, you can either use dd (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 bs=1024k, for example) or run mediainit.

Re: erase data from root disk
For the most part, a simple rm -rf / does a pretty good job.

Re: erase data from root disk
The command didn't fail. You wrote 138,932 records until the disk's end.
