Deleting shares and disk pools erases all data within them
so make complete backups prior to deleting shares or disk
pools.
Before you can delete a disk pool, you must first delete all
shares allocated within the pool.
Quick Erase performs a brief erasure of the primary file
system structures but does not erase all locations on the
disk that contained user data. Full Erase performs multiple
erasure passes on the entire disk.
