Description Luis Villa 2008-01-13 21:43:05 UTC 
It would be nice if gfloppy offered to do disk 'erasures', not just disk formatting, by doing multiple overwrites. See, e.g., DOD 5220.22-M, which is what Apple's equivalent tool does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOD_5220.22-M
Comment 1 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2009-11-09 12:02:37 UTC 
thanks for your bug report.

GFloppy has been removed from the GNOME Utilities since the 2.28.0 release, and replaced by the GNOME Disk Utility.
