Public bug reported:
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with secure-delete 3.1-6. There are some
conditions in which sdmem can't overwrite the complete free memory for
example on my system less than a GB of 16 GiB are in use but sdmem is
only overwriting ~8+ GiB. This can be easily seen as after sdmem has
finished the cache is ~6 GiB big while on a successfull overwriting the
cache should get emptied.
I think it would be much helpful if sdmem would show how many total and
free memory it has detected and how many of the free memory could be
overwritten so that the user can see if some values are not correct.
