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 at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/
