WARNING: The sanitization process might include a disk format. If the system is power-cycled or rebooted during a disk format, the disk might become unreadable. The process will attempt to restart the format after 10 minutes. The time required for the sanitization process might be significant, depending on the size of the disk and the number of patterns and cycles specified.
