I've got an old RAID that I attached to a box. LSI card, and the RAID has 12 drives, for a total RAID size of 9.1TB, I think. I started shred /dev/sda the Friday before last... and it's still running. Is this reasonable for it to be taking this long...?
Unless you specified non-default options, shred overwrites each file three times -- and writing 27 TB to an old RAID array will be extremely slow. Also, shred has a builtin PRNG, and I'm not really sure how speedy it is.
Still, 12 days seems like a really long time... -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein@xxxxxxxxxx <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
