Is there any chance to speed up /dev/random? Would a hifn accelerator card help here to get FreeBSD produce garbage faster? 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).
You could use DBAN [0] to wipe the data, at least on the disks ;) That also takes some time (depends on the method you choose) but it's worth it...
