Hello
Has someone ever tried to wipe a block device on freebsd 6.2 with
bcwipe?
I tried
bcwipe -bvmd /dev/aacd1
I get:
Writing to /dev/aacd1: Invalid argument
I tried slices too but it i got the same error.
dd can overwrite my disk several times but perhaps someone can give me a
hint how to wipe a disk with bcwipe.
Regards,
Thomas
