# Smart and wipe disks

**Project target : ultimately provide a way to diagnose and clear old disks before use.**

It should be :

- based on classic GNU/LINUX tools (smartctl, dd)
- safe to use (never touch a mounted partition)
- automatized for standalone operations 

---

For now the project runs through a shell script that needs to be converted to python.

```
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

# sudo/root is required to operate smartctl  

$ sudo ./bin/main.sh
	
``` 

## Roadmap

It needs to improve based on the sources in the src dir :

- [pySMART](https://pypi.org/project/pySMART/)
- [py_smartjson](https://github.com/kroy-the-rabbit/py_smartjson)
- [smart_status](https://github.com/ixs/smart_status)
- [pyWype](https://github.com/marshki/pyWype)


Known dependencies 

``` 
- pip install pySMART
- pip install jsonpickle
```
