I need to scrub a couple of very large HDDs. However, I can't do that from a desktop. I need to do it on the move, from a laptop. A single pass of
scrub(1)
on a HDD would take more than a day, but there is no way I can leave my laptop stationary for that long.
scrub(1)
itself doesn't support any kind of offset command line parameter.
Is there a way to do what scrub(1)
does (writing random bytes), but in a way that can be resumed? Basically the command would need to print out the offset when I interrupt it, and it needs to accept an offset parameter for resuming.
