Notable changes in this release
- Includes 32 bit time compatibility to fix futex issue on 32 bit versions of shredos.
Nwipe changes from 0.32.014 to 0.32.023
- Fix a problem in the 32 bit build displaying a very large & incorrect number for sector, block and device sizes in the log.
- Fixes a problem that might have caused temperatures to be unavailable on Debian systems, but not necessarily on distros based on Debian like Ubuntu which would have worked ok. This was due to the variation in the location of the modprobe command in different distros.
- Improve thread cancellation error reporting.
- Fix missing serial number on some SAS drives
- Add Isaac64 pseudo random number generator. Isaac64 automatically selected on 64bit systems, Isaac automatically selected on 32bit systems, the user can override these selections if they wish.
- Fix a issue with the Gutmann wipe. The eight random passes (four at the start of a wipe and four at end) along with the deterministic passes were all being permuted when only the non random passes needed to be permuted.
Known issues
- hexedit help screen doesn't work. This is due to groff (nroff) missing and not being available in either buildroot or busybox. I'm hoping to eventually pull this package in from github. If anybody would like to submit a PR for this, please feel free.
- In legacy mode shredos's default terminal resolution is 640x480, occasionally you may come across a monitor that will not display this resolution, shredos has booted but you can't see it. This can be corrected by changing the default shredos resolution in legacy mode to 1024x768, most monitors appear to accept that resolution. This is accomplished by editing the grub.cfg file. See how-to-make-a-persistent-change-to-the-terminal-resolution. The default 640x480 legacy resolution may be changed to 1024x768 in a future release if requests are made for this change. UEFI resolution tends to be the native resolution of the monitor or no lower than 1024x768.
Note
- The .img file for writing to a USB flash drive is both legacy (bios) and UEFI bootable.
- The .iso file for CD-R/DVD-R is legacy bootable only. Will be UEFI bootable on a future release.
