Thanks for the info, Guess you mean just noticed http://bugs.debian.org/722898, sorry for missing it before. Benchmarks with your changes look promising. This makes three tightly related bug reports * partman-auto-crypto#678015 [Guided partitioning took 26 hours to complete erasure of encripted LVM volume] Never used guided partitioning, but if there is a cancel button during wipe some of the proposed warnings may apply. * debian-installer#721360 [warn that blockdev-wipe can be very slow] Originally also about guided partitioning. * partman-crypto#722898 [blockdev-wipe is too slow] Fixes for speed and message wording are proposed in the bug you mention. Time to reassign and merge? Regards, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
