Title:
  No option given for secure erase

Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

  It would be nice if a "secure" erase type was offered in the disk
  utility tool on the live CD.  I believe the equivalent on OSX offers
  this.  It's not clear from any options given that the data on an
  existing disk is going to be overwritten.

  (Using Disk Utility 2.30.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 desktop live CD)

  (I have used "shred" on the command line in the absence.)
