Hello Forum,

I frequently need to destroy a file system on removable media.
The windows format.com claims the fs is write protected, but I hope dd can help out.

The mtab is not very helpful:
  D: /cygdrive/d udf binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1

My question is this: which device in /dev do I use?

- bartels
