We use a USB key drive linux distro to secure erase hard drives, and 'wipe' is the only multi-pass erase utility we use. I appreciate your clarification on existing functionality, but for our needs, the 'mt' command will not work. I just wanted to clarify this for any other users to need a truly secure erase utility for media other than magnetic tape (such as hard drives, as in our case). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prpplague - 01-23-06 10:12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- added to buildroot on revision 13513.
