I always get verification errors with dban 1.0.2. Here's a log excerpt:
[2004/02/01 12:50:34] dwipe: notice: Blanking device '/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc'.

[2004/02/01 12:59:09] dwipe: notice: Program finished.
...
[2004/03/01 12:59:09] dban: DBAN finished with non-fatal errors. The disks were not properly wiped, or there were verification errors.
Method was dod.
What do I make out of this? Must I assume that the wiping failed? I wiped around 10 disks lately, and every single run showed 10 to 40 verification errors. Everything else looks fine, also the disks seem to be empty.
Thx in advance, nemo
