Removing .DS_Store files from external drive

[sduttonusa]

I know that to remove .DS_Store files on my internal drive . . . I just need to issue the following terminal command:

sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;

What is the terminal command to remove .DS_Store files from an external drive?

Run that command with the drive mounted. When running that command anything mounted, from externals... to NAS'... to iPods... will be scanned and the files removed (if found).

I believe dot_clean, a built-in command, does the same thing.

Since I feel lazy I use BlueHarvest, which allows to set policies by drive to handle this on eject.
