Running sudo ./actprep /dev/sdN will fail if the disk was previously in-use and had a partition that might still be mounted by accident (and therefore, dd wouldn't fully zero-ize it). It would enhance usability if there was a note hinting to unmount first or atleast a general, noisy error message would show up.

Using ubuntu-server 14.04.3 (LTS)
