in thread Create text files recursively and write ZEROS within them all - data overwriting purposes

Agreed. I can use a "disk wiper" which we have, but they are slow and I was hoping for a quick simple method for overwriting data, especially when the drive is needed within a very short timespan. US DOD 5220 standards are not required here.Even linux's sudo shred command is slow with only a single zero pass. Thanks for the help, though.
