know this topic has come up before, but I am too lazy to look into the
the archives ;)
I'm aware of:
shred -vz -n 6 /dev/hdx
Also dd:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx bs=4 count=?
I've seen some bootup floppy stuff, and I know most live distros have
the above mentioned tools; however, are these the most efficient
(meaning fastest) methods to cleanse a disk to dod standards? I need
one opensource solution that works for x86 and PPC archs.
TIA
