    90% of them will be stopped by having an EXT3 filesystem on it...but
that's no solution. Freshmeat.net is a good place to look if you don't
get a quick answer; several exist- I just don't remember the names, or
the keywords I used to find them the first time.

    ...though "wipe" was a part of it.
