     @Humpleupagus It doesn't work with GNU mv, as that selects multiple directories and; mv: target '/dev/null': Not a directory
     
     I think you meant: mv / /dev/null and well; mv: cannot overwrite non-directory '/dev/null' with directory '/'
     
     shred -n 0 -z /dev/sda is what you want to erase a drive completely (you could overwrite with random data, but that's pointless really).

     dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda1
     that should do it.

     @Humpleupagus
     rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/'
     rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
     
     rm -rf /* works much better.

     What about "sudo rm -rf /"?
