Sorry, but curiosity got the better of me and I found myself Googling for lseek(4, 0, SEEK_SET)
And somehow I arrived here, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=69630 Seems a chap called Paul Eggert has discussed lseek and zero's with tape drives once before. I was also interested that dd is mentioned in the same breath, and it was a failing script using dd, that led me to shred in the 1st place....although that failure was probably unrelated. What busy chaps you've been.
