I wanted to understand if it is possible to create a certificate or log from a Mac after a 7-pass disk erasure is performed. This is required to keep an evidence of disk erasure being performed. Something similar to what Darik's Boot & Nuke does for Windows?
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Disk Erasure
Hmmmm,
Open Console & select all logs, search for Disk Util, ee if it reports that.
I vaguely remeber there was a way to set DU's Logging level, but not how that was actually done.
Following up on BD's post, I see that my Tiger Disk Utility Log file is in ~/Library/Logs, for instance. It doesn't look like it gets rotated on a regular basis, so it can be pretty big. It's best to view it in the Console utility, select the data you want to keep, then do a File->Save Selection As... operation on the info.
Seems to be true also in Mountain Lion, so it's probably unchanged in between.
Is it possible to create a certificate or log to record disk erasure?
