Since when does this stopped working?

No idea, but it is not there. See sampe log: [2016/08/18 15:41:48] nwipe: notice: Opened entropy source '/dev/urandom'. [2016/08/18 15:41:48] nwipe: info: Device '/dev/sdb' has sector size 512.

This is really inconvenient ... imagine wiping 10 hotswap disks in a row. It would be really nice to see in a log what exactly has been wiped and how it ended.

Are you using 32 or 64 bit version of nwipe?

spartanbard commented 6 years ago

I'm using version 0.24 on the newest PartedMagic release (2018-03-27), and it is not showing serial numbers in the terminal log when running PartedMagic in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. I haven't tested it running in any other distros yet. Has anyone else out there tested this?

@spartanbard it's fixed in the master. #64
