For my dentist I'm currently in the process of destroying some tape
cartridges (SLR7) and also two hard disks (147G SCSI).
The tape sits there since 48 hours writing a block of data every
other minute and still didn't fill up the tape completely. The
system this is running on is a P-4 3GHz machine using FreeSBIE 2.0
(6.2-RELEASE based).
I suspect this to be a slow /dev/random.
As there is medical data on all media I really need garbage
(/dev/zero wouldn't be enough for data security as this might get
recovered).
As a quick (slow?) fix, couldn't you just fill the disks with random data
and then dump that data to your tapes?
