Description
This is to track the future work mentioned in RFD 663 (automating the manual data wiping of re-adopted disk). The goal mentioned there is specific to the disk re-adoption scenario. We may want to extend the data wiping feature to sled or disk expungement process (if the drive is still responsive to sled-agent requests), or afterwards (if the drive somehow becomes accessible after returning to Oxide). The data-wiping tools would reduce the odds of retaining on-disk customer data at the wrong time or in the wrong place.

Research direction
Start by reading RFD 663, especially the future-work section on automating manual data wiping for re-adopted disks. Then determine the scope for wiping re-adopted sleds or disks and for expungement scenarios where sled-agent access may remain or return later. Done means the required tooling and supported wiping scenarios are defined and implemented.
