I don't belive spares_zero acutally overwrites data, or initalize all disks (option 4 at 22/7 menu). That's why the sanitize commands were created in the first place.
I'm not sure what a good answer is for you. Maybe a bulk magnetic tape eraser? How about attach the shelves locally to a pc, and write a bunch of garbage to it 7 times?

We've got an old F230 that I was finally able to decommission today, and I figure even though I've deleted all the data it would probably be a good idea to scrub the disks a bit for security purposes.
Problem is I just can't remember (and can't seem to find searching around NOW) what the best way to do that back in OnTap 5.3.7R3D18 was. I know I could do disk sanitize now, but not sure what if anything was available in older versions. Any suggestions?
(I fully concede that I might be having a complete brain failure about the painfully obvious solution I should already know. But I even searched around NOW a bit and couldn't find an answer.)
