When wiping free space using gutmann method with the latest release of your software 2.25.1025 and using a Intel Pentium M 1.5 GHz, the tool quickly arrives at 100%, then stays there for hours consuming 100% CPU with no User Interface indication that it is doing anything. I stopped it at 12 hours for 30 GBytes.
Is this normal ? I understand that a 35 passes takes a long time on a hard drive, but wanted to know how many hours it would take. Did I prematurely shut down the tool after 12 hours or is it just hanging?
Let me know. THanks
