What is the best way to wash a disk?
I tried this but it is taking forever.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdg1
Someone else suggested a tool to do it, but just fyi dd's default block size is pretty small (is it 1 byte?) which will be terrible for performance. Add bs=1M or something to improve the speed. James
