I'd like to see a single case where someone was able to recover data
from an overwritten harddisk, even after a single pass with zeroes.
Multiple passes isn't much better, but if that's all you got...
You would be better off looking at better utilities if you really need
to keep the data from being recovered.
Nonsense. If you're worried about the zeroes just replace /dev/zero with
/dev/urandom. Your "better utilites" don't work any different from that.
