Re: Freespace wiping timing


I would appreciate any theories which would explain the
differing speeds. My own guess is that it has something to do
with caching, but (while I can't find it in the docs) I think it's
supposed to take care of that. I've tried the STFW step, but I
haven't found anything.


My theory is that the second deletion pass was quicker because the
random data used to overwrite it is less complex than the first, you can
check if that is the case by wiping some small file and checking if the
second pass is quicker again, that would indicate that the second pass
always has this behaviour.

To try recover your delete data you can try:
