Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: coreutils
Random passes of shred are painfully slow: it takes me 571 seconds to make the
first (random) pass on a 2.0GiB flash device, while only 125 seconds where
needed to perform the second pass.
So, random passes are nearly _five_ times slower than other passes while
erasing flash devices...
Please note that this is the same for HDDs: with different times, for
course, but the difference can be even bigger (near an order of
magnitude on my systems).
Tested on Intrepid beta, Hardy and (if I recall correctly) Gutsy.
Feisty (again, if I recall correctly) worked just right.
** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
