iS there an easy way (by cmd-line) to erase a used DVD-RW?
I tried K3B and can't figure out where to click!
simply don't use "easy to use GUI" just use actual program which is
growisofs and dvd+rw-format
recording 0 bytes DVD will do the trick, i don't see explicit "cleaning"
option in growi

dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0 -blank
dvd+rw-format comes with sysutils/dvd+rw-tools (you probably have it
