disk_wiper
a disk wiper since shred is "lentoinculo" on some machines, the old machine has achieved a ~100MB/s instead of shred's ~10MB/s
features:
- checks if disk has errors, in that case instructs you to physically destroy it poiting to the Model and Serial numbers to best identify the drive
- checks if disk is an SSD (see TODO) and reminds you the dangers of SSD's flash reallocation
- differentiate between SAS and SATA to retrieve the correct data
- uses openssl to provide randomness (faster)
- has a nice progress bar for the shredding and zeroing with timing of the current operation
- automatically installs it's prerequisites (pv, smartmontools and hdparm)
TODO:
- check ATA Secure Erase for SSDs
- needs testing with SATA drives
- needs testing with broken SATA drives
- needs testing with SSDs
- broaden the platforms for prerequisites installation (at least yum)
