sdelete may be the easiest, but not the best tool here, since it`s made for secure deletion and not made for filling a disk with zeroes quickly.
i have no windows around here for performance testing, but dd may perform better: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd you should try "dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile.dat bs=1M" and remove that file afterwards this should give the same effect as with sdelete, but it may perform better. if you like to try that, please report the results here. there are more tools like this around, but they are hard to find. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
